- Gana said Obi’s surest path to the presidency is to run under the PDP in the next general elections.
Jerry Gana, a founding member of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has claimed that if Peter Obi returns to the party, he will defeat any presidential candidate he runs against in the North.
Speaking on Arise TV’s Prime Time on Wednesday night, Gana said Obi’s surest path to the presidency is to run under the PDP in the next general elections.
His comments come amid speculations that Obi could return to the PDP, despite attending several meetings with the African Democratic Congress, ADC.
Obi ran for presidency under the umbrella of the Labour Party, LP, in the 2023 polls.
Speaking on the rumoured return of Obi to the PDP, Gana said northerners will vote massively for Obi because they are just and fair.
He stated that his assertion is informed by his outcome from the research he made about the 2027 election which is that Obi will defeat any presidential candidate if he contested on the PDP platform.
He said: “I’m a researcher, and I research opinions.
“In the northern states, Peter Obi under the PDP will defeat any candidate, because our people are very fair-minded.
“In 2031, it will be the turn of the North.
“Our people are very fair and we are building a nation.”
