Spokesperson of Peo­ple’s Democratic Par­ty (PDP) Presidential Campaign, Mr Charles Aniagwu yesterday stated that the party does not begrudge former President Olusegun Obasanjo and Edwin Clark for endorsing the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Mr. Peter Obi.
Aniagwu, who doubles as the Delta State Commission­er for Information stated this while addressing pressmen in Asaba, explaining that the PDP has competitive edge to win the 2023 polls despite the several endorsement of Peter Obi.
“We do not begrudge Obasanjo or E.K Clark for their position with Peter Obi. We are aware that we are go­ing into a contest and such endorsement is normal.
“We have the competitive edge to win because the Ati­ku/ Okowa ticket ticks all the boxes. We are in the ‘A’ grade while Peter Obi in credit grade.”
He stressed that the party has received the best endorse­ment from Nigerians who have the power to elect.
He commended PDP faith­ful in Oyo for demonstrating that Atiku is their choice in the 2023 elections when the G5 campaigned in the state.
“We did not mobilise them to do so, hence it speaks vol­ume that the Oyo state people picked their choice despite attempts to downplay their voices. The endorsement we have received states clearly the intention of Nigerians for the upcoming elections.
He mooted that the party is ready to work with competent persons cutting across politi­cal parties as he further dis­closed that the party is ready to welcome any Presidential Candidate that will want to step down for Atiku.
