According to Prof. Christopher Imumolen, the presidential candidate for the Accord Party (AP), Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) has no chance of winning the election.
Although Obi is a good man, Imumolen argued that he missed his chance to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari by picking the incorrect party to realize his ambitions.
In order to defend his earlier statements that, if elected president of Nigeria next month, he would appoint some presidential candidates, including Obi, to the cabinet, the AP presidential candidate said this.
Imumolen reiterated that Obi would be a member of his cabinet if he were to win the presidency in a statement released by his media office on Thursday.
According to him;
Labour Party – the party under which he (Obi) is planning to actualise his dream of becoming Nigeria’s president if I must say, is actually a liability, not an asset. I am aware of the popularity Labour Party has gained over the few months with some persons now regarding it as a third force despite not being truly tested in a full-blown election.
But the truth is that Labour Party, as presently constituted, cannot deliver the intended change that Nigeria earnestly seeks because it is bewitched! A party where a list of unexplained mysteries has been occurring unabatedly does not give any reasonable Nigerian confidence going into very important elections come this February. Now, consider these instances. A party where a woman leader was killed in Kaduna, where a senatorial candidate in Imo State has been kidnapped with no signs of his whereabouts.
A party where a youth leader was recently indicted for creating a personal account to raise funds purportedly for Obi’s campaigns, a party where their highly respected campaign Director General, Doyin Okupe was jailed for money laundering offences.
Add that to a gubernatorial candidate of the party kidnapped in Anambra State last year without a trace, and the mysterious death of the party’s national chairman, Alhaji Abdulkadir Abdulsalam, in 2020, and it will be clear to many that the Labour Party is not only bewitched but incapable of giving Nigeria the president of the calibre she seeks in the upcoming general elections.
