Peter Obi, Kwankwaso ticket can’t give ADC numbers – NWC member, Oladimeji
Deputy National Financial Secretary of the David Mark-led National Working Committee, NWC, of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Fabiyi Oladimeji, has dismissed the viability of the Peter Obi, Rabiu Kwankwaso’s presidential ticket.
Oladimeji said only the presidential ticket of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and Obi would give the ADC the required numbers in 2027.
Addressing newsmen in Abuja, Fabiyi noted that the voting strength demonstrated in the 2023 general election shows that an Obi/Kwankwaso pairing would fall short of the numbers required to defeat the All Progressives Congress, APC.
“Even Kwankwaso and Obi cannot give us the number, I am sorry to say this. The best number is Atiku and Obi.
“The total votes for the three of them was about 14 to 15 million, while the President got about eight million. If these forces come together, Nigerians will see the difference.
“Atiku has said he will support whoever emerges. Amaechi has said the same thing. We are expecting Peter Obi to also make that commitment because this is not about personal ambition; it is about rescuing the country,” he said.
