Dr. Maurice Okoli has urged Peter Obi’s Labour Party (LP) supporters to put in place a strong structure before the 2023 elections.
The advice was given in a statement on Sunday by the president of the Nigerian community in Russia.
Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party will be tough opponents for Obi (NNPP).
Okoli emphasised that if the youth-led Obidient Movement was not well-coordinated, it would not produce the desired results.
The academic claimed that although it is a self-evident truth, the axiom that people are structures is not a set rule or principle.
“In such a movement, you have to know who is accountable, what you expect, and from whom.
“In the absence of that, things will happen unpredictably, and the unpredictable result could be something you don’t like.
“The Obidient movement needs an effective and efficient structure that can deliver the goal of winning a national election.”
Okoli is a fellow of the Institute for African Studies Academy of Sciences, Russia, and the Institute of World Economy and International Relations Academy of Sciences, Russia.
