Obi, Nigeria’s most Dangerous, Divisive Politician – APC
By Kabir Akintayo
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has referred to the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, as a politician that will go down in history as “Nigeria’s most dangerous and divisive person”, for promoting religious and ethnic political sentiment in the country.
APC further accused Obi of taking advantage of the youth, by pretending to be their saviour, adding that, he Obi, is a good actor, whose campaign was built on ethnicity and religion without a track record to show as a governor of Anambra state.
Mr Dele Alake, Special adviser on media and communication of the APC, Presidential Campaign Commission (PCC) who made this known in a press conference on Friday, said that, such a party like LP, that could not fill up its quota for polling booth agents with a shortfall of over 40, 000, should not be compare to a party like APC.

He said “Not a few of our youths thought Peter Obi looked like the leader they wanted and many of them could not tolerate any form of scrutiny of their newfound hero. They chose wilfully to canonise him while insisting no one should ask questions. The combination of the disgruntled youths, the ethnic champions, and commercial clerics were the reason Obi thought he could win a presidential election in Nigeria. Such illogic is not strange to the Labour Party.”
Mr Alake also accused the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar of orchestrating a campaign to discredit the presidential election, adding that, Atiku already knew he will not win with a party already decimated.
“Contrary to the false claims of Atiku and Obi, the reasons for losing the elections were foretold. Besides the delusional expectations created during the campaigns to hoodwink the public, most PDP leaders knew their party had been decimated by Mr. Peter Obi.”
However, Mr Alake commended both PDP, and LP, for their decision to go to court, saying that, no any tangible prove that the election was rigged, especially after APC lost its strong base to oppositions.
“The 2023 Presidential election is a watershed as it produced unprecedented outcomes and defied conventions. The deployment and use of BVAS is the only reason the elections produced these strange outcomes and upsets in many cases.
“The loss of Katsina and Lagos to PDP and LP respectively were contrary to expectations. BVAS brought the intended credibility to voters’ accreditation such that many governors and well-established politicians lost elections in what should be safe bet areas.” Alake said.
