2023:Obi/Datti Coalition Disowns Atiku/Obi Posters, Billboards In Bauchi
LAGOS DECEMBER 27TH (NEWSRANGERS)-The Coalition of the Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party (LP) Peter Obi and his running mate, Yusuf Ahmed Datti, known as ObiDatti in Bauchi State, has dissociated itself from a poster in circulation having the pictures of Peter Obi and the presidential candidate of the main opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, together as candidates in the 2023 general elections.
The coalition said that its candidate has not formed any political alliance with anyone.
Musa Abel, the Chairman Obidatti Coalition, M&E CPO Bauchi State, in a press statement, described the development as a deliberate effort to confuse teeming supporters of the LP in the state.
“The attention of the Coalition of ObiDatti Support Groups in Bauchi State has been attracted to the deliberate misinformation carried out by some persons who are bent on misdirecting the teeming Obidients in Bauchi State. It is aimed at frustrating the obvious victory of Peter Obi at the presidential election.”
“Posters of the PDP Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar with Peter Obi purportedly as the vice presidential candidate of the PDP are recently being placed in strategic locations in Sabon Kaura area of Bauchi State.”
“We have informed the Chairman of the Labour Party in Bauchi State, Hussaini Saraki and Bauchi State Coordinator, Peter Obi Presidential Campaign Council, Rev. Joshua Ray Maina, of this unfortunate development and they are taking it up appropriately.
“This is an attempt at taking advantage of the popularity of HE Peter Obi, the Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party and align him with a different party to our detriment.The claim that these were 2019 posters and the persons who placed them were not aware that Peter Obi is no more in the PDP calls for serious concern.”
“Peter Obi and Senator Yusuf Ahmed Datti are soaring in popularity as Nigerians are clamouring for genuine turn around. We call on our teeming support groups to intensify mobilisation and sensitization of the people, especially at the grassroots, as we consolidate on our gains,” parts of the statement read.
