Dele Momodu, the Director, Strategic Communications of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Council, has said supporters of the Labour Party presidential candidate, aka Obidients are now seeing the importance of political structure.
During Arise TV Morning Show on Monday, he wherever said Obi is number one in the elections, the PDP’s Atiku Abubakar will be number two, adding that Atiku would split votes with counterparts in the LP and the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, in their strongholds.
According to Dele Momodu: “The Obidients are beginning to see the importance of structure. Structure is not something out of this world, it is a needed requirement. How many governors have you got, which is what Tinubu is banking on that ‘my governors will help me’. How many senators or senatorial candidates does Atiku have? How many people for House Representatives, how many for House of Assembly? They haven’t got much of that.
“You are also going to need agents nationwide, thousands of them. That will form part of structures.
He said he wondered how the Obi camp would compete with the PDP that had been in existent for a long time and already had structures.
“If you say ‘we don’t pay ‘shi shi’, you can see how people are moving away in droves in some of these smaller parties because the structures are not there. The structures also include the funding of each of those structures.
“We shall see in the next one week what will happen. The polls will not help Obi. If they like, let one million say Obi is going to win.”
Wakadaily learnt that, ever since Peter Obi dumped PDP to Labour Party, there had been criticisms from rival parties that Obi’s supporters were dominant online than in the physical. Obi is always referred to as a social media president.
