What will happen to Nigeria if Peter Obi loses in 2023 - Ex APC Chieftain predicts

Charles Udeogaranya, a presidential candidate in the 2019 general elections has predicted what could happen to Nigeria should Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi not win the 2023 election.

According to Vanguard, Udeogaranya said Nigerians should be ready to continue to live in abject poverty and hardship should they fail to elect Obi at the 2023 presidential poll.

His comment comes off the back of a recent report by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) that 133 million Nigerians are multi-dimensionally poor.

The report which was released about 72 hours before the former APC chieftain's warning said that Nigeria's status on the poverty index exceeds the World Bank projection on Nigeria.

He also warned Nigerian voters who appear not to be interested in electing a credible leader seriously to rethink about imminent severe sufferings and poverty-related deaths that will envelop the country.

Udeogaranya in addition to his warning urged Nigerians to jettison candidates of the APC and other opposition parties including the Democratic Party (PDP) during the poll. His words: 'If we do not walk away from APC and PDP presidential candidates, they will walk 99.9 percentage of us into abject poverty with severe suffering”.
