Atiku’s supporters abandon him in favor of another presidential candidate
Youths for Atiku Political Group (YOFA), a support group for Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, has endorsed another candidate.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, YOFA stated that it has decided to support Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate Peter Obi, and that its name has been changed to Youths for Peter Obi (YOPO)
In a statement, the group stated that it chose to support the LP candidate because he and his running mate, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, are “young, diverse, competent, energetic, and kind-hearted.”
YOPO insisted that the duo has what it takes to address Nigeria’s current issues and challenges decisively.
“Mr. Peter Obi, 61, the Labour Party candidate, is and remains our endorsed candidate, and will benefit from this structure’s free online and offline support,” the group said.
Bola Tinubu Caught Using Peter Obi’s Twitter Account
Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), was seen on Tuesday participating in a Twitter space for former Anambra governor and businessman Peter Obi.
According to Track News, a Twitter space was created for the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, to come and speak on pressing issues facing the country.
Surprisingly, the former Lagos state governor, who recently stated that he does not use social media because it causes him “high blood pressure,” was seen participating as a listener among the over eight thousand listeners present.
The presence of the APC flag bearer in the space with other listeners, the majority of whom are Labour Party supporters, has caused a stir on social media.
