The Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has dismissed insinuations that he may be unable to win the 2023 presidential election because he and his party lack political structures in all states of the country.

Obi said the over 100 million Nigerians affected by poverty, pensioners as well as students and lecturers affected by the over four months ongoing ASUU strike will embody his political structure ahead of the election.

The former Anambra State governor, who was vice presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2019, had last month defected from PDP to the Labour Party before the parties’ presidential primaries.

His exit from the PDP was hinged on his aversion for vote buying and this was believed to have endeared him to many Nigerians who have since deepened their online and physical mobilization for him.

But despite the huge he’s getting mostly from the youths, political analysts have noted that his lack of ‘structure’ may work against him at the polls.

Obi, however, believes that millions of Nigerians who have lost hope in the two leading political parties will elect him to lead them.

“Whenever I hear of NO STRUCTURE, my answer to it is simple; the 100 million Nigerians that live in poverty will be the structure. The 35 million Nigerians who don’t know where their next meal will come from will be the structure.

“The elderly, our mothers, fathers, and the old ones dying or being owed gratuity/pension will be the structure. ASUU; the lecturers that are being owed, and the students who are not in school will be the structure.

“We’ll create the structure, and they’ll see what the structure is all about. The structure is about human beings,” the Labour Party candidate said in a series of tweets on Sunday.

Just as his opponents brags about those they share dollars to as their own political structure, Peter obi CARES.

Okay... let's meet at the polls

liar chinko.

obi the dreamer...even obi knows he would not win in his heart but well obi is like every other politicians they tell lies.

HE SURE TALKS A GOOD GAME..

I am already seeing Peter Obi as Nigeria president

Gbam

the youths are coming

they have no manifestos to campaign with apart from their usual old tribalism and tribal card tactics.

But we'll remind them that tribalism won't bring back dollars to at least 400
tribalism won't bring back fuel to 95 naira
tribalism won't send our undergraduates back to school.
tribalism won't fix our security.
tribalism won't develop our economy.

2023 will be the youths vs the criminals

The right man at the right time - Peter Obi.

Peter Obi for president!!

Good candidate in a wrong party. PDP messed up big time. It would have been an easy ride for Obi under the PDP banner, sweeping the whole south east and south south and getting votes of those disgruntled educated elites in south west who were rooting for Osinbajo.

I am Yoruba man if Yoruba Nation is not achieved before 2023 election, you have my vote.

Something tells me this is the miracle Nigeria has been praying for.
