The spokesperson of Atiku Abubakar Presidential Campaign
Council, Senator Dino Melaye, has said it is not yet the time for Peter Obi of
the Labour Party to become the president of Nigeria, asking Nigerians to ignore
the euphoria on social media.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Friday,
Melaye maintained that Peter Obi did not possess what it takes to unify
Nigeria, saying the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate is the only one
with that capacity.
According to him, supporters of Obi were mere noise makers
who were only creating euphoria on social media, but that they did not have the
strength to win the 2023 election.
Melaye maintained that Atiku had engaged in interactions
with Nigerians and he is confident of winning.
“Peter Obi is a fantastic Nigerian. I have tremendous
respect for him, but this is not his time. He doesn’t have what it takes now to
unify this country. Before you start talking about economy, you need peace. You
need to build trust among Nigerians. It takes Atiku to unify this country. He’s
the man that could be trusted in the north, in the south, in the east, in every
part to unify this country. Among all the presidential candidates, Atiku
Abubakar is the only one that can be trusted. Nobody will see him as a
religious bigot, tribalist, ethnic jingoist.
“All those shouting Peter Obi, Peter Obi; what is the
followership of Peter Obi on social media? Even those making those imaginary
noises are not even following Peter Obi on social media. Go to the Twitter and
Instagram handles of Peter Obi. How many people are following him? Peter Obi
was in Osun to campaign for Labour Party candidate. The Labour Party got 2,700
votes while the PDP got over 400,000. Don’t be carried away with this
euphoria,” Melaye submitted.
