A prominent chieftain and founding member of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP), Prof. Jerry Gana, has said that Peter Obi may be good, but that the PDP has somebody better.
According to Gana, former Governor of Anambra State would win the northern state, should he return to the main opposition party.
Recall that Gana has in recent weeks continued his call for Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in 2023, to come back to the PDP.
He believes that the obi has all it takes to challenge the incumbent government as the standard bearer of the PDP.
Gana, who stated this while speaking on Arise News, expressed the confidence that Obi would defeat any contender in Nigeria’s northern states if he contested on the PDP platform.
Obi said he was still a member of the Labour Party and had vowed to remain in the party for the meantime while working with the African Democratic Congress, ADC-led coalition.
He left the PDP in May 2022 to pursue his bid under the LP.
“The PDP is on the ground. I’m a researcher, and I research opinions. In the northern states, Peter Obi under the PDP will defeat any candidate because our people are very fair-minded and just.
“We are reaching out to Peter Obi. Because I’m leading a search team and there are many brilliant people. Peter may be good, but we have somebody better. So, we are searching.
“We made a mistake in 2023. If I were Atiku, I would say, ‘Peter, it is now your turn; I would give you a vice-president,’ but he didn’t,” he said.
