PDP Tapping Obi’s Goodwill To Market Atiku – Labour

Labour Party has called out the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP for tapping into what it has described as the goodwill of Mr Peter Obi to campaign for its candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

The Obi-Datti Campaign in a statement made available to GWG.ng deposed that the PDP ostensibly for want of good ingredients has resorted to the use of past videos and soundbites of Mr Obi to advance the cause of the PDP.

The campaign in the statement said:

Obi-Datti Media Office attention has been drawn to some videos of the Labour Party,  Presidential Standard bearer, Obi when he was the running mate to the former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar on the  Peoples Democratic Party, PDP platform in 2019 when he called on Nigerians to vote for Atiku.

Also, a video of Obi attending the Presidential declaration of Atiku earlier in the year explaining why he attended the declaration while nursing the same ambition is being circulated using Obi’s testimonial on Atiku.

It’s understandable why everybody wants to tap into Obi’s ‘anointing’. He is the only name in the political space currently that has the people’s acceptance and his opponents want to draw from the living water, as it were.

Obi had delivered and still delivering tempting and irresistible messages that resonate with the Nigerian people, which opponents think they can tap from by posting his past remarks on them to deceive credulous voters.

Continuing in its claim that the PDP was tapping into Obi’s goodwill to market Atiku, the Obi-Datti Media team said:

“Truth remains that Obi asked Nigerians to vote for Atiku in 2019 when he was his running mate when he had hoped his position as his number two will help his aspirations especially as the position of President was justifiably zoned to the geopolitical North then.

“Today all discerning minds are unanimous that for justice, peace, and stability, the Presidency of this country should go South and in particular the South East who are yet to taste the position especially as the North held the position for the past eight years.

The LP Presidential ticket holder had also succinctly explained why he attended Atiku’s declaration while nursing the same ambition because he does not see politics as a war of enemies more so that he was still in the same political party, the PDP with Atiku then.

The Obi-Datti Media office,, therefore wishes to appeal to Nigerians particularly the Obedient family to disregard the mischief intended by the circulators of such video who thought they can tap on Obi’s anointing from the back door.

“If they have a message to Nigerians why the voters should look their way on Saturday, February 25, 2023, they should have been showcasing it instead of looking for a good name to tap from.

Finally, the Obi-Datti Media office wishes to advise these mischief makers who are seeking to harvest where they did not sow that this electioneering is an era of 3cs; Competence, Character, and Capacity and no longer of my turn or entitlements based on religion and tribe. That era is history.
