Utomi revealed that the BIG-TENT initiative was able to assist in the design of a structure for Peter Obi’s presidential bid, and that opposition parties should brace themselves for a surprise.
Emerging reports have confirmed that two former heads of state are backing Peter Obi for the presidential seat of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in the forthcoming 2023 election.
As reported by Punch, this revelation was disclosed on Friday, December 2, in Abuja by Professor Pat Utomi of the BIG-TENT coalition of civil society groups, political parties, and social movements.
While speaking during a town hall meeting in the nation’s capital, Prof Utomi said the Labour Party has all the structures it needs to win the 2023 elections.
He revealed that the BIG-TENT initiative has been able to help design a structure for the presidential bid of Peter Obi and that opposition parties should brace up for a shocker.
The professor of economics said: “Money alone doesn’t win elections. Two former heads of state have said to me they are Obidients. “A lot of people want to join the (Obidient) movement without joining the Labour Party to ensure that Obi and Baba-Ahmed win to capture our country back from those who have held us down.
