A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has reacted to the world press conference held by Peter Obi, Labour Party flagbearer, for the 2023 presidential election, on Monday, November 6, in Abuja.
Recall that at the conference with newsmen in Abuja, Obi accepted the Supreme Court judgement which affirmed the election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Obi, however, said the judgment would not signify the end of the Obidient movement
Reacting, in a series of tweets on his X page (formerly Twitter) on Monday, Daniel Bwala, an aide to PDP flagbearer, Atiku Abubakar, affirmed that Obi and his running mate, as well as their supporters, are a hard nut for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to crack.
According to the PDP chieftain, although Datti Baba Ahmed has accepted that Tinubu is the president of the court but their earlier position remained unshaken.
He tweeted: “Listening to @Naija_Activist Datti Baba Ahmed this evening I believe the man has not shifted a bit from his earlier position, although he now accepts the fact that Tinubu is the President by the court.”
Speaking further, Atiku’s aide maintained that Obi’s press conference signalled Tinubu has more problems to contend with regarding LP and the Obidients, as an opposition in the polity.
Adding that the insecurity and the entire Nigeria’s major challenges are not compared to what Tinubu will face in the hands of LP and its supporters.
Part of the tweet seen by ANN on Tuesday, November 7, read:
“But @PeterObi and @Naija_Activist Obi/Datti’s position today convinced me that @officialABAT Tinubu has more problems to manage with Labour Party and Obidients than the entire economy and insecurity in Nigeria. How he will navigate this is a course to be taught in OAU, ABU and Nsukka universities.”
