The professor of economics said:
“Money alone doesn’t win elections. Two former heads of state have said to me they are Obidients.
“A lot of people want to join the (Obidient) movement without joining the Labour Party to ensure that Obi and Baba-Ahmed win to capture our country back from those who have held us down.”
2023 election: ''We have better structure than APC, PDP" - Pat Utomi
He further reiterated that the Labour Party has more structure than the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Prof Utomi said he gets amused when critics talk about structure and not knowing what the term entails in politics.
He said:
“The LP has better structures than the Peoples Democratic Party and the All Progressives Congress. When people talk about structures, I kind of laugh because they don’t understand the meaning of structure.
“The structure is a criminal network of people who can fix elections and we have to stop that; that’s not structure.”
