It will be a 'miracle of the century' – Buhari's Minister speaks on Peter Obi’s chances

Olorunnimbe Mamora, Minister of Science and Technology believes it will be “a miracle of the century” should Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party win the 2023 presidential elections.

The Minister made the comment on Channels TV's Political Paradigm on Tuesday, October 25.

The Minister claimed Obi is an independent candidate and stands no chance against the other contenders.

“What I see, with all due respect, is what you can call an independent candidacy in the Labour Party.

“To the best of my knowledge, even in America, no independent candidate has ever won the presidency. They can win the Senate or the House of Representatives.

“So, it will be a miracle of the century.

“I won’t dismiss it, but it doesn’t seem like it will cause havoc in this system at the end of the day,” Mamora said.

Obi will be up against top contenders like Asiwaju Bola Tinubu (All Progressives Congress) and Atiku Abubakar (Peoples Democratic Party) in the 2023 poll.
