Famous Nigerian musician, Peter Okoye of PSquare, has hit
out at Ovation Magazine Publisher and Presidential aspirant, Dele Momodu, over
claims that Peter Obi, a Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP),
cannot win the 2023 presidency.
Momodu had said on Tuesday when he appeared on a current
affairs programme ‘Your View’ on TVC, that Obi could not win the 2023
presidency in a local fringed party like Labour.
When asked if Peter Obi would be able to pull the type of
votes Trump did in the US, which nobody thought existed or get a large number
of youths to vote for him in the general election, Momodu said it’s impossible.
According to him, the first thing Obi would face is to fund
the party because the party is not financially buoyant and Nigerians do not
make contributions.
He said: “For me, the two of the best that were in the PDP
were myself and Peter Obi and he had absconded. I was in Labour, I started my journey
from Labour, the first thing Obi will face in Labour is to fund the party
because the party does not have money and Nigerians don’t make contributions.
“After I lost the first ten million, I started shaking
because they said they were setting up a structure. You cannot win a
presidential election from a fringed local party like Labour. Peter Obi has
money unlike me but can he spend his hard earned money on fighting Atiku and
Tinubu if he emerges the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Party,
he can’t.”
Responding to Momodu, Okoye, in a series of tweets on
Twitter, averred that Obi might not have money and structure but he has the
youths and masses behind him.
According to him, the 2023 election is beyond delegates as
the masses will control the outcome of the election.
He tweeted: “With all due respect Sir Mr Dele Momodu! Yes,
Peter Obi might not have the money and structure! But he has the Youths,The
Masses and The People now! The truth is that we the people are the structure.
We are many and we are powerful, We are Obi-deint, we can not be distracted.
“It is now beyond the delegates. The masses will control the
outcome of the election. Will they vote for the candidate who paid delegates
thousands of dollars to emerge as a candidate or vote for Peter Obi who has
plans to change Nigeria from consumption to production?
“You people don’t understand the hardship and abject poverty
that will hit us if Peter Obi doesn’t win. It’s not about the North or South
here, it’s about who will save us, the country is crumbling in all sectors,
people are dying unnecessarily, all this rubbish must stop.
“They intentionally create hardship for the people, so that
they can easily buy people over to support them in a time like this! Are you
people not tired of suffering? Is Nigeria today satisfactory for you? Don’t
fall for these same mind games again.
“Please one more thing Sir Mr Dele Momodu, with all the money and structure that other political parties have, where has it taken Nigeria to? We need Pure CHANGE! And Peter Obi is that change! And now a Threat to all of them all! Sorosoke.”
