The Peter Obi Support Network, POSN, has asked supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, to urge their principal to step down for Obi ahead of the 2023 election.
The spokesperson for the group, Jones Onwuasoanya, insisted that the former Anambra governor was more qualified to take over power in 2023.
He stated this while responding to Atiku support group, ASO.
The National Publicity Secretary of ASO, Dr Victor Moses, had stated in an interview with Punch that: “It would only take a miracle for the Labour Party to be able to do anything in the forthcoming elections. Don’t forget, elections are not won on social media. We have typical people who live in villages where the bulk of the votes come from and do not even have access to Twitter.
“How many Nigerians are on Twitter? That does not mean one can do without the new media in 21st century politics. As far as elections are concerned, grassroots politics is what matters. Do they have it?
“Do they have the structure? There is no House of Representatives member, House of Assembly or governor. Who will protect their votes at the polls? Who are the agents? They have no structure. Let us be sincere.”
Reacting to this, Onwuasoanya said Obi was more interested in the future of the country.
He said, “There has to be a Nigeria first before we think of a political future. At this time, anybody who truly believes in Nigeria and knows what is going on in Nigeria will know that Nigeria is in trouble and on the verge of collapse.”
