The Obi-Datti Media office has declared that the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi is poised to win the election saying he is the man to beat.
The Obi-Datti Media office made the disclosure in a statement made available to newsmen yesterday, following reactions on the alleged provocation of Obi by spokesperson of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, Senator Dino Melaye during the presidential live debate in Abuja.
It read “At the Arise Television TownHall Meeting for Presidential Candidates on Sunday at Transcorp Hilton, Abuja, Senator Melaye was so unruly and disproportionately large that a hardly provoked LP standard bearer had to call him out publicly to the shame of the bully spokesman”.
The statement read “Notwithstanding that his principal Atiku Abubakar who was scheduled for the program ran away and sent his Running mate, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, Senator Melaye was not ashamed of the embarrassment caused by it but was still shamelessly throwing his nuisance about to be noticed by the highly disciplined Obi. Instead of ruminating on the dig on him from a cross section of Nigerians for his recalcitrant behavior on Sunday, Melaye is claiming that the obidient family which has become the nightmare to his principal cannot win election.”
Further it said “We in the Obi-Datti Media office long came to the realization that attack dogs made Mr. Peter Obi their principal target for relevance and retention of their job”, saying “If any right thinking Nigerian especially a politician still thinks that Obi, the Labour Party Candidate is an underdog in the 2023 Presidential race, that person must be fantasizing and should be pitied”.
On claims that Obi will burn out before January 2023, the campaign Media office said every political calculation project Obi as the man to beat saying poor calculations by Melaye made him lose his Senate seat to “APC in 2019 and to a small boy in the House of Representatives in his party’s primaries in 2022”.
According to the team, we “need to actually make it abundantly clear to Senator Melaye and other characters of his ilk that Mr. Peter Obi and Labour Party are in the race to win and win convincingly. What Peter Obi is out to do by trying to take back Nigeria with Nigerian youths is to ensure that political jokers like Melaye do not occupy spaces reserved for good heads for the uplifting of the nation’s democracy”.
The group maintained that Melaye was hired for nuisance saying “Even showing face at all with an attendant ugly conduct at a function his Principal was missing, underscores clearly the man who probably was hired purposely for nuisance than for good”.
Further, they said Nigerians were visibly tired of the two political parties and are copiously directing their votes to the fresh air in our polity which is Mr Peter Obi, saying his “antecedents and qualification is the man needed at this time to rescue and rebuild our beloved country”.
