Obi Is A Great Asset, We’re Doing Everything To Bring Him Back – PDP
Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ibrahim Abdullahi, has said that the party is putting measures in place to bring Peter Obi back to its fold.
Abdullahi, while speaking on Arise News on Thursday night, described the former Governor of Anambra State as a product of the PDP and a great asset to any political party.
According to him, despite rigging and all sorts of manipulation of the electoral process in 2023, the Labour Party presidential candidate was still able to garner over 6 million votes.
During the last general election, Obi won twelve states, including the federal capital territory, FCT, Abuja, but came third behind Atiku and the subsequent winner, Tinubu, according to the final results as declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
Abdullahi said that plans are in motion to return Peter Obi to the opposition party.
“Peter Obi is our product, and the PDP indeed wants to get him back. He is a very great capital for any political party, and any political party that will have him will be to their advantage,” he said.
“The truth of the matter is if he had not gone the way he did in the last dispensation and proved that mettle to generate over six million in spite of the rigging and frustration of his chances in many of the states. Peter Obi is truly a political capital, no doubt about it,” he added.
