“If they go to Peter Obi, win-win for APC, if they come to us, it’s a plus. Anywhere they go, except Atiku Abubakar, is a win-win for us. Even the votes they are taking to Labour Party will also not give victory to the party."
This gives rise to the claim that the APC recognises the fact that Atiku is a serious rival for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the 2023 elections.
Peter Obi will not win the 2023 election, Keyamo declares
Speaking further, Keyamo bragged that no amount of endorsement for Peter Obi by the G-5 will make him win the 2023 polls, The Cable reports.
Making a wild boast, the minister noted:
“It’s not that people expect them to win. No, Labour Party will not win. I can bet with anything that is precious to me on earth. I can tell you, and I am that confident. I put it down that they will not win.”
The APC campaign council's spokesman added that whatever move the G-5 take will ultimately work well for Tinubu and APC.
His words:
“No. look. I want all Nigerians to know this including the APC supporters. We want to address our base. Either way G-5 goes, it’s a win-win situation for the APC because this G-5 is a component of the PDP. It is a strong component of the PDP.
"Because the votes that they are taking to Labour party will not give Labour Party victory.”

Festus Keyamo reacted to the endorsement of the Labour Party's presidential candidate, Peter Obi, by Olusegun Obasanjo and Edwin Clark.
Speaking on Tuesday, January 3, Keyamo noted that the development has only paved the way for APC's victory.
Keyamo who doubles as the minister of state for labour and employment said that the endorsement means doom for Atiku Abubakar and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the various component that brought the opposition party close to victory in 2019 are breaking ties with it.
