FORMER Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Yakubu Dogara has said that the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Gregory Obi may win, but that what scares him is that he does not know anything about the former Anambra State governor.
The Nigerian lawyer and politician, Yakubu Dogara, was airing his view on the forthcoming presidential election.
Dogara claimed that the 2023 presidential election is a two-horse race, alleging that the presidential battle will be between the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar and Mr. Peter Gregory Obi
“As a man who understands the Northern hemisphere, I believe Peter Obi is a strong force in the North alongside Atiku Abubakar”
Yakubu Dogara disclosed that the North does not accept people easily but with what has happened with the APC administration in the past eight years, the North is looking for something new and not going for tribe or any of such that have been the usual practice in our electioneering.
However, Dogara confessed, ” This is what scares me, I don’t know Peter Obi that well, the acceptance is getting from the North Is alarming, he may even become the president, Yes! and I don’t know him.”
