Popular Nigerian singer, Peter Okoye also known as Mr P of PSquare, has taken to social media to react after Nigerian journalist, Dele Momodu opined that Presidential aspirant, Peter Obi cannot win the 2023 election from the Labour Party.
Dele Momodu disclosed this recently when he appeared on a current affairs programme ‘Your View’ on TVC.
When asked if Peter Obi would be able to pull the type of votes Trump did in the US which nobody thought existed or get a large number of youths to vote for him in the general election, Dele Momodu said it’s impossible.
According to him, the first thing Peter Obi would face is to fund the party because the party is not financially buoyant and Nigerians do not make contributions.
Dele also made it clear that Peter Obi cannot win the presidential election from a fringed local party like Labour.
In his word: “For me, the two of the best that was in PDP were myself and Peter Obi and he had absconded. I was in labour, I started my journey from labour, the first thing Obi will face in Labour is to fund the party because the party does not have money and Nigerians don’t make contributions.
“After I lost the first ten million, I started shaking because they said they were setting up a structure. You cannot win a presidential election from a fringed local party like Labour, Peter Obi has money unlike me but can he spend his hard earned money on fighting Atiku and Tinubu if he emerges the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Party, he can’t”
