Votes From Southeast, South South Cannot Make Peter Obi President – Atiku

Atiku And Obi

The Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar has expressed pain over the loss of the Southeast and South South votes in the last Saturday, February 25 Presidential election.
He accused the candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi of taking away from him, the region that had been his traditional catchment area before this year’s election.
Answering reporters’ questions yesterday at the world press conference in Abuja, Atiku reminded Peter Obi that he can ever be President even if he wins the whole Southeast and South South.
“Winning election in the Southeast and the South South cannot make Peter Obi President.

“To be president of Nigeria, you need to win election across the country: Northeast, Northwest, North Central, as well as South South, Southwest, South South and Southeast.”
He complained that Peter Obi left PDP and joined Labour Part with no traceable unpleasant reason other than the fact that he wanted to be President of Nigeria.
Atiku said that with the Presidential election over, his doors and that of the PDP are opened for possible talk of alliance with Obi and his party to challenge the electoral process that brought in Asiwaju Bola Tinubu as President-elect under the umbrella of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
