The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council says the endorsement of Mr Peter Obi of the Labour Party by former President Olusegun Obasanjo in his New Year message on Sunday will amount to nothing.
The APC PCC said its reaction is due to pressure from journalists from various media houses who asked for its reaction which it obliged with this preliminary statement, though it did not consider the so-called endorsement to be of any value.
The Party says it respects the democratic right of former President Obasanjo to support and endorse any candidate of his choice in any election.
Adding however that except the fact he made it known formally in his new year message, any discerning political watcher in Nigeria knows that Chief Obasanjo’s preference for Peter Obi is expected and not news.
He had earlier stated his position at various public events, the last being at the 70th birthday anniversary of Chief John Nwodo, former President of Ohaneze Ndigbo in Enugu.
The party adds that its Presidential candidate, Asíwájú Bola Ahmed Tinubu, will not lose sleep over Obasanjo’s move, as Obasanjo is notorious for always opposing progressive political forces, as he did against MKO Abiola in 1993.
The endorsement is actually worthless because the former President does not possess any political goodwill or leverage anywhere in Nigeria to make anyone win a Councillorship election let alone win a Presidential election. He is a political paperweight.
He is also not a democrat anyone should be proud to be associated with.
The party went down memory lane recalling that in 2003 and 2007 general elections when he was a sitting President, Obasanjo used all the coercive instruments of State at his disposal to railroad people into elective offices against the will of Nigerians as expressed at the polls.
Adding that In 2007, he declared the polls a do or die affair after he failed in his bid to amend our constitution to have a third term.
From available records according to the party, President Obasanjo has not successfully made anyone win election in Nigeria since then.
Not even in Ogun State can anyone rely on his support or endorsement to become a governor or Councillor.
The APC PCC says it pities Mr Peter Gregory Obi as it is confident that Chief Obasanjo can not win his polling unit and ward in Abeokuta for Obi in the coming Presidential election on 25 February, 2023.
Going Further the APC PCC adds that Chief Obasanjo’s endorsement is not a political currency Mr. Peter Obi can spend anywhere in Nigeria because he is not a political force, even in his part of the country.
Chief Obasanjo similarly endorsed Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, Peoples Democratic Party candidate in 2019 against President Muhammadu Buhari. Atiku was walloped by Buhari with a wide margin in the election.
