Peter Obi, a former governor of Anambra State, has a greater than 60% probability of becoming president of Nigeria, according to Dan Ulasi, a prominent member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
According to Naija News, Ulasi said this on Thursday during an appearance on the Morning Show on Arise Television.
Speaking on the increasing political alignment between Peter Obi and former presidential candidate Rabiu Kwankwaso, Ulasi stated that the process is a reflection of continuous efforts to forge a national consensus in advance of upcoming elections.
Ulasi emphasized that Kwankwaso and Peter Obi both have considerable influence in their respective areas and that their cooperation might herald in a new period of growth and development for this nation.
“The Peter Obi, Kwankwaso effect is part of the process we are building up, building bridges across this country,” he stated. Neither Kwankwaso nor Peter Obi are names that are thrown around in the North or the South.
Because it is an unwritten law that the South will have eight years, and the North has had eight years under Buhari, we have four more years to finish the southern tenure if, by the grace of God, the two of them unite and one of them becomes president as we hope.
“We are supporting Peter Obi because the idea of Kwankwaso is going to be an exciting and powerful political process that, if successful, will usher in a new era of development and progress for this country because only God knows tomorrow.”
“Given the current state of affairs, Peter Obi has a greater than 60% chance of becoming the nation’s president.”
