The Coalition for Peter Obi’s Presidential Aspiration says the Peoples Democratic Party has lost about 15 million votes because of the resignation of the former Anambra State governor from the opposition party.
Peter Obi, a 2023 presidential hopeful recently resigned his membership of the PDP and withdrew from the presidential race.
The group, in a statement on Thursday, commended him for listening to its advise to dump the PDP.
The statement signed by the group’s chairman, Marcel Ngogbehei, read partly, “We are delighted that the former governor of Anambra, Peter Obi, listened to the request of his 23 support groups to dump the Peoples Democratic Party, following the shenanigans going on inside the party ahead of the party’s presidential primary.
“With the recent development, it is obvious that the PDP has automatically lost 15 million votes because of Peter Obi’s decision to dump the party.
“We, therefore, urge Peter Obi to look for Nigerians of like minds and vie to be president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in the forthcoming 2023 general election.”
