A former Deputy Governor of Sokoto State, Mukhtar Shagari, has revealed that he was contacted by the Labour Party to become Peter Obi’s vice presidential candidate.

Shagari, speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Tuesday, said he declined the opportunity because he did not believe Obi stood a chance in 2023.

“The Labour party contacted me and requested if I would like to be the Vice Presidential candidate to Peter Obi,” the PDP chieftain said.

“And I looked at the political scenario, what Labour party is, and decided that I cannot be the Vice Presidential candidate to Peter Obi.

“I do not see the path through which Peter Obi will win the election in this country.

“It is so clear that in areas in the South-East, and young people are shouting about him on social media – yes, it’s politics.

“But the truth of the matter is that there are two dominant parties in this country – APC and PDP. If you want to become President, I think you must belong to one of them.”

Shagari also said zoning is not a constitutional matter as it is not provided in the nation’s constitution.

“it’s purely a party affair,” he said.

Peterobiisathie:
Who doesn't know that Peter Pandora Obituary is a failure?
If I were you I will cash out from gullible Ndi mkpurummiri addicts like Datti

BeardedMeat:
They are still better than your push and start candidate.

APCnaPDP:
That’s the bitter truth. Obi cannot win in 2023. However, what he has done via his supporters is a big win for Nigeria. If his supporters can continue to demand good leadership, Nigeria will get it right in few years time.
God bless Nigeria.

manmade:
so you rightly known that obi and his supporters stand for good governance and yet you guys preferred a plate of agbado and cassava porrage to good governance?

Acidosis:


So the sane ones should continue to demand good governance while ediots continue to drag us back??

If Obi does not win, nobody will demand any good governance from anybody. We will all bear the consequences of having a sick, immobile, and absentee push and start kleptomaniac who would spend his time avoiding national discourse and issues.

APCnaPDP:


I like Obi but he doesn’t have any Midas touch like you guys make him to have. He is definitely better than Asiwaju and if Atiku wasn’t contesting, I would have voted him simply because of cutting cost of governance.
However, at the moment, Atiku is the best candidate and most likely the one that can rescue us from the evil hands of APC.

Acidosis:


Well, Peter Obi is definitely not a perfect candidate but, based on the available options, he's a better choice.

I can't deal with another absentee old man. Buhari's situation already gave me PTSD. I remember how Nigerians had to beg and cry like babies just to have their president speak to them during a global pandemic. Ah May Devil not curse us with short memory.

As for Atiku, my conscience won't allow me vote another Hausa Fulani man after 8 years of Buhari. Many PDP politicians have also shown the height of desperation. They're desperatly hungry.

A third force just seems like the best way to change and put a permanent stop to the old order.

APCnaPDP:


What is wrong in voting another Fulani man? Is he not Nigerian ? Atiku is not parochial, not bigoted, he is appreciated in all regions of Nigeria.
