Two Former Presidents Behind Obi

Prof Pat Utomi, convener of The BIG-TENT coalition of political parties, social movements, and civil society organizations, has announced that two former heads of state have endorsed Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi for the 2023 elections.

According to him, the LP has more positive structures in place than other political parties in order to retake Nigeria from those who have held it back.

Utomi, a renowned political economist and former Director of Lagos Business School, made these remarks in Abuja on Friday at a town hall meeting organized by The BIG-TENT as part of activities to rally support for Obi, his running mate, Datti Ahmed, and LP.

He stated that The BIG-TENT had worked on developing real structures for Peter Obi, and that opponents of Obi-dients would be surprised by the outcome.

Utomi said, “Money alone doesn’t win elections. Two former Heads of State have said to me they are Obi-dients. A lot of people want to join the (Obi-dient) movement without joining Labour Party to ensure that Peter Obi and Datti Ahmed win to capture our country back from those who have held us down.

“The LP has better structures than PDP and APC. When people talk about structures, I laugh because they don’t understand the meaning of structure. The structure is a criminal network of people who can fix elections and we have to stop that; that’s not structure.

“We at The BIG-TENT have worked at developing real structures and they are going to be shocked at what they will see. Many of the Peter Obi Support Groups have structures on their own that can win these elections. At every poll during the election day, we will have 20 people who belong to these structures.”
