Former Minister of communication, Labaran Maku has disclosed that both the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) anticipated Peter Obi would not make much progress in the 2023 presidential election.
However, he claimed that the Labour Party (LP), the obidient movement, and Peter Obi’s accomplishments had shocked Nigeria’s two major political parties.
Speaking on Channels TV Sunrise Daily on Tuesday, Maku stated that they had worries about Peter Obi’s ability to win elections but that their concerns were allayed by the fact that the young seized charge of the issue and made the most of it.
The former minister spoke against the backdrop of the PDP and APC’s defeat by the Labour Party in Nasarawa State during the presidential election on February 25.
Given that the APC’s national chairman, Abdullahi Adamu, is from the state and that the party also has an incumbent Governor in office, he claimed that while the PDP had indeed lost in Nasarawa, the APC had suffered an even greater loss.
Maku, who is a PDP chieftain submitted that both parties underestimated the Labour Party but the APC performed more woefully in Nasarawa State given the advantages that should have worked in its favour.
