The former deputy governor of Sokoto state, Mukhtar Shehu Shagari has revealed why Peter Obi will not win the 2023 Presidential elections.
The former Senator said this during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Tuesday.
He said while it is true that the former Anambra state Governor gas social media credibility and support in the South-East, he cannot win because he does not belong to the big two, the PDP and APC.
He added that he turned down Labour Party’s request to be Obi’s running mate for the same reason.
“The Labour party contacted me and requested if I would like to be the Vice Presidential candidate to Peter Obi,” the PDP chieftain 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.
“I do not see the path through which Peter Obi will win the election in this country.
“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.
“But the truth of the matter is that there are two dominant parties in this country – APC and PDP. If you want to become President, I think you must belong to one of them.”
