2023: No Plan to Step down for Atiku – Obi
By Ozumi Abdul
The Presidential candidate of Labour Party (LP) in the forthcoming 2023 general election, Peter Obi, has denied rumours making the rounds that he was planning to back his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) counterpart, Atiku Abubakar, to win the election.
The clarification was made on Wednesday in Abuja by the Director-General of the Obi-Datti Ahmed presidential campaign organisation and a former presidential spokesman, Dr Doyin Okupe.
Okupe was adamant that Obi is the most acceptable candidate by every segment of the country’s populace and with the most potent capacity to rescue the country from its “current degeneration.”

“I hereby categorically refute the false statement, making the rounds, that Peter Obi has made any deal with Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the PDP, with respect to the 2023 Presidential elections.
“By the grace of God and the massive acceptance and support of the Nigerian people, home and abroad, and especially the youths, Obi is far ahead of all other presidential candidates in the country.
“He therefore cannot, logically, be negotiating with any other less popular candidates or their parties.
“The Obi-Datti Presidential Campaign Organisation is focused on our mission which is to TAKE BACK NIGERIA and hand it over to the Nigerian Youths, to secure their collective destiny.
“Our compelling commitment and promise is to “move Nigeria from consumption to production and so Help us God,” Okupe stated.
