Peter Obi cannot outspend Atiku, Tinubu – Momodu
Dele Momodu, publisher and politician, has said presidential hopeful Peter Obi cannot match the financial war chest of Atiku Abubakar and Bola Tinubu respectively.
Atiku is the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) while Tinubu is jostling for the ticket of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Momodu spoke on a television programme, ‘Your View’ on TVC. The politician, who himself lost the contest to Atiku, said it would be difficult for Peter Obi to win with a fringe political party, like the Labour Party (LP).
He said: “For me, the two of the best that were in the PDP were myself and Peter Obi and he absconded.
“I was in Labour, I started my journey from Labour, the first thing Obi will face in Labour, is to fund the party because the party does not have money and Nigerians don’t make contributions.
“After I lost the first ten million, I started shaking because they said they were setting up a structure. You cannot win a presidential election from a fringed local party like Labour.
“Peter Obi has money, unlike me, but can he spend his hard-earned money on fighting Atiku and Tinubu, if he emerges the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Party? He can’t.”
