All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, Alwan Hassan, has suggested that the northern region will not vote for the 2023 Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, in the 2027 election.
Naija News reports that Hassan stated this on Tuesday while fielding questions on Channels TV’s Politics Today programme.
Hassan described Obi as the biggest importer of alcohol, questioning why he would want the North to vote for him.
According to Hassan, nobody is capable of defeating President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election.
He said, “Who else do you think would defeat Asiwaju come 2027? Who? Peter Obi that was on your programme, saying he wants the north to support him and trust him. At the same time in the same programme, he’s celebrating building breweries in Anambra State and being the biggest importer of alcohol, and he wants the north to vote for him? We’ll vote for a president that will import alcohol in the north?
“Or is it those ones that are saying their wives are taking care of them. We cannot hand over this country to people, to men that are being fed by their wives.”
Meanwhile, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has criticised Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, over his recent pledge to serve only one term if elected president in 2027, describing it as “unnecessary and unconstitutional.”
PDP Deputy National Youth Leader, Timothy Osadolor, speaking with Vanguard in Abuja on Tuesday, said Obi’s statement could undermine the constitutional framework that allows a president to serve a maximum of two terms.
Osadolor said, “I don’t believe such statements have a place in a democracy, and it’s truly unfortunate. The Constitution explicitly states that one is eligible for an eight-year tenure. Committing to just one term and potentially devaluing the process in the long run is neither fashionable nor something that should be encouraged.”
Osadolor argued that political campaigns should be anchored on a candidate’s competence, leadership ability, and vision for uniting Nigeria rather than symbolic pledges meant to sway voters emotionally.
