2023: Peter Obi Reacts To Losing Presidential Election To Tinubu, Atiku In ThisDay Projection
The Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has reacted to losing the 2023 presential election in the projection of results made by ThisDay newspaper.
Naija News earlier reported that the ThisDay projection analyzed a possible outcome of the 2023 presidential election and key states the major candidates may win.
According to the poll analysis, with the 2023 general elections less than two months away, there are tendencies that there would be a presidential run-off.
The stats by the THISDAY 2023 Election Centre showed the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, coming clear with massive votes in 21 states with the APC flagbearer, Bola Tinubu, also hopeful of garnering massive votes from 20 states.
The stats also showed the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Rabiu Kwankwaso, coming fourth behind Peter Obi of the Labour Party.
With insignificant postings in many states to satisfy the constitutional requirement of 25 percent of votes cast in 24 states, the stat is predicting an inconclusive election.
Obi Speaks
In a recent interview, Peter Obi described the projection as mere imagination and not the electoral poll result where the actual figure is been determined.
Why Peter Obi Is Asked To Withdraw
Meanwhile, Nigerian singer, Peter Okoye, popularly known as Mr P, has opined Peter Obi, is a threat to other presidential candidates.
Naija News reports that this is coming in the wake of the call that the former Governor of Anambra State, should withdraw from the presidential race ahead of the 2023 election.
In a post shared on Twitter, Mr P questioned why Kwankwaso, Sowore, and other politicians are not asked to withdraw except Peter Obi.
According to the singer, many people have come to terms that Obi is a threat to other political parties.
The singer further urged Nigerians to take their anger to the ballot box in the February election and vote for the LP candidate.
