A leading member of the Labour Party (LP), Doyin Okupe, has enumerated the winning chances of the party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, ahead of the 2023 polls.
Okupe, in an analysis released on Tuesday, provided a response to ThisDay Election Centre Projections.
Okupe said the projections are “false, bogus and do not represent the actual situation on the ground across the nation.”
He said the projections were “essentially aimed at misinforming the public.”
Okupe stated that the calculations ignored many important electoral parameters that have been in place in Nigeria for over six decades.
“Without any doubt, PO will score 25% in no less than 24/25 states including Taraba, Adamawa and Gombe, and will lead all the other 3 numerically.
“He is the candidate to beat. Peter Obi will win and lead massively in the SE (South-East) averagely (70%) including all states in the SS (South-South).
“In the SW (South-West), PO will score minimum of 40% in Lagos. 25% in Ogun, Oyo, Ekiti and Ondo.”
