The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council (APC PCC) has said the flagbearer of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, does not have a pathway to become the next President.

The Director of Media and Strategic Communication of the APC PCC, Dele Alake,  stated this while speaking at a press conference in Abuja on Wednesday.

He said opinion polls such as ANAP/NOI and Nextier which predicted Obi as the winner or preferred candidate to win the presidential election are creating grounds for unrest, and giving the LP flagbearer false hope.

Alake noted that the presidential election is between his principal, Bola Tinubu, and the standard bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar.

The APC chieftain maintained that even though the presidential race is between Tinubu and Atiku,  the PDP candidate will be roundly defeated on Saturday at the polls.

He said: “We want to state categorically here, that those polls will only lead to despair, despondency, utter shame, and disappointment because the pollsters only took a flight of fancy.

There is no evidence and reality on ground anywhere in Nigeria as far as the presidential election is concerned that supports Mr. Obi winning this election. The Labour Party has no pathway to victory.

“This presidential election is going to be a straight contest between the candidates of APC and PDP and from more studious and rational polling, our candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is coasting home to victory despite the current challenges in the implementation of the currency swap and fuel scarcity that have caused some difficulties for almost all Nigerians regardless of social and economic status.

“We particularly find amusing the ANAP/NOI and Nextier polls that predicted Mr. Obi as the winner or preferred candidate to win the presidential election. We have had cause to alert the security agencies to keep these pollsters under watch because their intention is to prepare the ground for unrest by giving false hope of winning to Mr. Obi’s motley crowd of supporters who have a predilection for violence with the way they bully, harass, intimidate and insult anyone who thinks differently from them.”

Alake stressed that Tinubu introduced town hall interactive sessions into his presidential campaigns to meet directly with the people across various sectors and segments of society.

He added: “Our campaign introduced town hall interactive sessions into this campaign to take our message directly to the people across various sectors and segments of the society.

“In so doing, Asiwaju Tinubu and Senator Shettima took their programmes to the people. They used the opportunity of the interactive sessions to directly share their plans and visions with the electorate and align those with the people’s own desires and aspirations.”
