Festus Keyamo, spokesperson of the All Progressives Congress
(APC) presidential campaign council, says the Labour Party (LP) has no chance
of winning the presidential election.
The minister of state for labour and employment said the LP
is “doing better than expected” with the arrival of Peter Obi as the
standard-bearer of the party.
He, however, said the party lacks the nationwide support
base to muster a victory at the presidential poll.
Keyamo spoke on Tuesday night during an interview on
Channels Television’s Politics Today.
He also said the actions of the aggrieved governors of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is a plus for the APC.
“I want to let all Nigerians know this, including the APC
supporters. We want to address our base. Either way the G5 goes is a win-win
situation for APC because this G5 is a strong component of the PDP,” he said.
“If they go to Peter Obi, win-win for APC, if they come to
us, it’s a plus. Anywhere they go, except Atiku Abubakar, is a win-win for us.
Even the votes they are taking to Labour Party will also not give victory to
the party.
“This is a young party, Peter Obi went there in the last 5
or 6 months, and they are doing well, better than expected.
“It’s not that people expect them to win. No, Labour Party
will not win. I can bet with anything that is precious to me on earth. I can tell
you, and I am that confident. I put it down that they will not win.”
The APC PCC spokersperson said the PDP has completely
collapsed as a political party, noting that the “wheels are falling off one by
one”.
“The race before now was between APC and PDP, but as I speak
to you, PDP has completely collapsed. If you look at their campaign so far, the
PDP will continue to tell you that they are hoping that there will be some kind
of upheaval in the north, some kind of reversal of fortune,” he said.
“We can say
confidently today that the PDP and its campaign as a party has collapsed. The
various factors that we have now that have upset the political terrain — Peter
Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso — were the components of PDP in 2019.
“The wheels of PDP are falling off one by one. The
endorsement of Olusegun Obasanjo is not against APC, it’s against Atiku
Abubakar because he supported him in 2019.”
