Peter Obi, the presidential candidate for the Labour Party, lacks a political infrastructure, according to Atiku Abubakar, the candidate for the Peoples Democratic Party.
He claimed that Obi is hoping for miracles, and that they are uncommon.
This was said by Atiku while he was a guest on The Morning Show on Arise TV on Friday.
According to the former vice president, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate is solely active on social media and lacks any nationwide political infrastructure.
He said 90 percent of the northerners are not on social media and Obi’s candidature is not a threat to his chances.
Responding to a question on whether Obi is a threat to his chances, Atiku said, “I don’t expect Labour Party to make as much vote from PDP. We could have seen it in Osun.
“They claim they have 100 million supporters online but you saw what they scored in Osun. In fact, in the North, 90 percent of our people are not on the internet.
“Labour Party that does not have governor, members in the National Assembly, it doesn’t have State House of Assembly members. And politics in this country depend on the structure you have at these various levels.
“Structure at the local government level, State government and national level. So, it is very difficult to expect a miracle to happen simply because Peter Obi is in the Labour Party”.
