Timothy sadolor, who is the current deputy national youth leader of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP), has said that if the presidential standard bearer of the Labour Party(LP), Mr. Peter Obi, gets a hundred thousand (100,000) votes in next year’s presidential election, he should go and celebrate.
Part of Timothy’s words goes thus, “The Obi movement is just a passing fad. Omoyele (African Action Congress presidential candidate) Sowore wielded more power in 2019; at the end of the day, he received only 34,000 or 36,000 votes. I’m telling you this for free: If Obi gets 100,000 votes, let him go and celebrate. Obi is just a distraction. If I am Obi and I want to be a nationalist, Obi knows his master, and he has circulated in several publication: that Atiku Abubakar is his boss. If Atiku Abubakar is his boss mentally, age-wise, and administratively, why not support your boss and support Nigeria?”
Mr. Timothy Osadolor made this assertion during an exclusive interview with El-Ameen Ibrahim of Punch Newspaper in Abuja, on Monday.
The Edo-based PDP chieftain when asked to give his thought on the rising movement of LP presidential candidate said it is not new, and it is not the first time that a presidential candidate would be enjoying massive support, especially from youths, adding that Omoyele Sowore once enjoyed the same in the build-up to 2019 general election, but that did not take him to anywhere as he barely scored 36,000 votes.
He also described the Obi movement as a passing trend, adding that the Independent National Electoral Commission will not count votes cast on Mark Zuckerberg’s pages on Facebook and Instagram, hence the youths should channel their energy in the right direction by collecting their Permanent Voters Card and getting actively involved in the election.
