Oshiomhole acknowledges Peter Obi as a good presidential candidate

Oshiomhole reflected on history when Atiku fielded Peter Obi as his running mate but still lost to the APC in the 2019 presidential polls.

He said:

“Nigeria has rejected him three, four times, and even the best partnership he enjoyed in 2019 with Obi did not deliver him. Now, his ticket is not as potent as it was in 2019.

“We are confident that, God willing, using the same Nigerian people who had rejected him in the past, they will reject him again. And because once he is rejected, he has a history of relocating to Dubai. That is what the Vice president meant.

The former Edo state governor further reiterated that his guts tell him that Atiku will lose and jet back to Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

He said:

“And I think Atiku will actually relocate to Dubai, he has been doing it. He is comfortable there. I hope that the ban on Nigeria does not affect him. Hopefully he will go there.”
