Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State has dismissed the chances of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, in next year’s election.
The Governor also rejected polls that put Peter Obi ahead of the All Progressives Congress’ (APC), Bola Tinubu and the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP), Atiku Abubakar.
Sule claimed that the criticisms of Obi, who was a former governor of Anambra State, by the current Governor, Charles Soludo, had devalued Obi as a presidential candidate to less than 10 kobo.
He made the statement on Wednesday during his appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme.
Sule said, “Today, the current governor of Anambra State where Peter Obi was governor is the right person who will tell what has happened during the period of Peter Obi.
“Today, I’m in a better position to tell you what Tanko Al-Makura did compared to what we see on the pages of newspapers, because I have the files and numbers in front of me.
“So, if you go to Anambra, look at what governor of Anambra (is saying). They were in the same party. It’s not that they changed parties. It’s Peter Obi that changed parties but it’s the same All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).
“So, if you go and see what he is saying today about Peter Obi, you will not buy Peter Obi for 10 kobo.”
“Now, do you have the same with Asiwaju (Tinubu) and the governors who came after him in Lagos? Is Lagos better looking today than Anambra? Is the economy of Lagos better today than Anambra? It’s like day and night. There is no comparison,” he said.
