….Says Labour Party targeting outright win in all the states.
The Obi-Datti Media Office has knocked a former Governor of Ekiti state, Ayo Fayose over an unsubstantiated view that he does not see the Labour Party winning 25% in 24 states of the federation.
According to the statement, the media office said ordinarily, it would not have bordered to react to such a subjective view not supported empirically but it feels such a view is capable of sending the wrong message to the public if unexplained.
The statement read, “LP presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi and his Running mate, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmad are not targeting 24 states for victory but the entire country meaning the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory.
“We are well aware that making 25% of the votes cast in 24 states is the minimum requirement to win the Presidency, but LP is looking at the entire country since its flag bearer is a rational person to be limited to any region.
“Ex-Governor Fayose is certainly living in the past by refusing to capture the political mood of the country which is beyond geopolitical, ethnic, regional, state and my turn interests.
“Nigerian youths who are driving the Obidient Movement are spread and active in every state of the federation and their target is overwhelming and outright victory across the board.
“It’s possible that Mr Fayose and his like are relying on the old order not knowing that the Take-back-Nigeria project is meant to dismantle and decimate the old order and install a new vibrant and progressive system.
“Mr Fayose possibly due to political reasons did not want to factor in the opinion polls conducted scientifically and professionally by three professional bodies, ANAP Foundation, Bloomberg and the Arewa Trust foundation all giving victory at the poll to LP’s Peter Obi.
“Since these scientifically proven polls were conducted a few months ago, Peter Obi and his Obidient Movement have had their profiles ascending not declining meaning that victory in 2023 by Labour Party is being enhanced.
“Finally, for purposes of emphasis, every indicator ahead of 2023 is showing clearly that the Labour Party candidate is cruising to victory because his messages have sunk with the people and have made the people’s decision to take back the country unanimous, total and unflinching.
“The train has left the station and we expect progressive minds like Fayose to join.
