2023: Probability Of Peter Obi Winning Next To Zero — Soludo

2023: Probability Of Peter Obi Winning Next To Zero — Solu

The Governor of Anambra State, Chukwuma Soludo has once again taken a jab at the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, saying that the probability of him winning the 2023 election is next to zero.

Soludo who previously stated that Obi's investment in Anambra is almost next to nothing said the latter is playing a game and that is the reason he never returned to the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).

The governor added that he prays for Obi and wishes him well but that there is no credible pathway for him near the first and second positions in the forthcoming poll.

 “Let’s be clear: Peter Obi knows that he can’t and won’t win. He knows the game he is playing, and we know too and he knows that we know.

“The game he is playing is the main reason he didn’t return to APGA.

"The brutal truth (and some will say God forbid) is that there are two persons/parties seriously contesting for president: the rest is exciting drama!

“That many Americans may not like the fact that Joe Biden (79 years) and Donald Trump (76 years) are two frontrunners for president in their parties does not remove the fact that if both of them emerge as candidates, definitely one of them will be president in 2024.

“As my brother, I wish him well and even pray for him. I told him during his courtesy call that my prayer is that himself or Prof Umeadi of APGA would win, why not?

“That is from my heart, but I also told him that my head and facts on the ground led me to know that its probability is next to zero (what I cannot say before you, I won’t say behind you).

“... So, I already told him my opinion. As my brother, I wish him well and even pray for him. Indeed, there is no credible pathway for him near the first two positions, and if care is not taken, he won’t even be near the third position.

‘’Analysts tell him you don’t need “structure” to win. Fantasy! Of course, LP won governorship elections in Ekiti and Osun on social media and via phantom polls, while getting barely 2,000 votes on ground.

"... Of course, Peter Obi will get some votes, and may probably win in Anambra State— as 'homeboy'.

"But Anambra is not Nigeria. If he likes, I can even campaign for him but that won’t change much.

"From internal state-by-state polling available to me, he was on course to get 25 per cent in five states as of August this year.

"The latest polling shows that it is down to four states, and declining", Soludo stated.
