2023: You’ll be disgraced, humiliated – Oshiomhole warns Peter Obi, Atiku

A former National Chairman of the governing All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, has declared that the presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, and his Labour Party (LP) counterpart Peter Obi, will be disgraced in next year’s election.

Oshiomhole spoke in Benin, Edo State capital, during the Southsouth zonal stakeholders’ meeting of APC.

Oshiomhole said: “Just four years ago, we had a combined ticket of Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi in PDP, but in unity, the presidential candidate of APC, President Muhammadu Buhari, defeated them. Now that Atiku and Obi are divided, do you really need a political scientist to tell you that what a united ticket could not achieve, that divided, they will achieve it?

“Atiku and Obi will be massively humiliated on election day in a civilised manner, without violence or cheating, with emphasis placed on one man, one vote, as Asiwaju Tinubu will emerge victorious. Asiwaju Tinubu, upon victory, by God’s grace, will do a lot to move Nigeria forward.

“We must work hard to deliver Asiwaju Tinubu in February 2023. Many APC members in Edo State worked so hard and we defeated PDP in 2015 and again in 2019, with a wider margin. This time round, we will so defeat Atiku, that he will not contest for president again. Hard work does not kill, it pays. Let members of APC continue to work hard.”
