Peter Obi Can’t Win Election In Nigeria, Says Shagari

A former Deputy Governor of Sokoto State, Mukhtar Shagari has said presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi can not win election in Nigeria. 

Shagari made this assertion in an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Tuesday.

The former governor of Sokoto revealed that he was contacted by the Labour Party to become Obi’s vice presidential candidate.

But, Shagari said he declined the opportunity because he did not believe Obi stood a chance in 2023.

His words, “The Labour party contacted me and requested if I would like to be the Vice Presidential candidate to Peter Obi,” he said.

“And I looked at the political scenario, what Labour party is, and decided that I cannot be the Vice Presidential candidate to Peter Obi.

“It is so clear that in areas in the South-East, and young people are shouting about him on social media – yes, it’s politics.

Shagari also said zoning is not a constitutional matter as it is not provided in the nation’s constitution.
