Labour Party presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi, has responded to claims by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar that only a miracle could make him (Obi) win the 2023 election.
Atiku, who spoke in an Arise TV interview last Friday, said the Labour Party had no structure and as a result, could not win any elections.
Responding to the claim, Peter Obi, who was featured on a Channels TV’s “Politics Today” programme on Monday, said his political journey had always been characterized by the miracle of God.
He said, “Well, my political journey has been a miracle. So many things have happened in my life that people never thought would be possible. In 2003, I contested for the Anambra Governorship election under a party that was just one year old; people said it would take a miracle for me to win the election that year. I won.
“Six months later, I was impeached. I challenged the impeachment in court, people said it would be impossible for me to come back to office, that no governor had ever come back to office after impeachment; they said it would take a miracle for me to win the case in court. I won the case.
“So my political journey has been like a miracle and I’m waiting for the bigger miracle to happen in 2023. That’s my response to Atiku’s statement.”
