Segun Showunmi, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has expressed his confidence in Peter Obi’s ability to win key regions in Nigeria if he rejoins the party.
Speaking on the Mic On Show podcast, Showunmi stated that Obi has the numbers and energy to take the Southeast, South-South, Christian North, and North Central zones.
According to Showunmi, Obi’s popularity and charisma make him a strong contender for the presidency, but he believes that Obi’s chances of winning would be better if he were part of a more established party like the PDP.
Showunmi’s comments come after Obi’s impressive performance in the 2023 presidential election, where he won 12 states and the Federal Capital Territory under the Labour Party.
Despite his success, Obi’s decision to leave the PDP for the Labour Party has been a topic of discussion among political analysts and stakeholders.
Showunmi’s prediction is based on Obi’s performance in the 2023 election, where he defeated Bola Tinubu in Lagos State and performed well in other parts of the country.
According to Showunmi, if Obi were to rejoin the PDP and become the party’s presidential candidate, he would likely win key regions due to his popularity and appeal.
While Obi’s decision to rejoin the PDP remains to be seen, Showunmi’s comments highlight the potential benefits of such a move.
As the political landscape continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how Obi’s future plans unfold and whether he will consider rejoining the PDP.
