Dele Momodu, the Director of Strategic Communications, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has stated that the supporters of the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, are now experiencing the importance of political structure.
Momodu explained that wherever Obi is number one in the elections, the PDP’s Atiku Abubakar will be number two, adding that Atiku would split votes with his counterparts in the LP and the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, in their strongholds.
“The Obidients are beginning to see the importance of structure. Structure is not something out of this world, it is a needed requirement. How many governors have you got, which is what Tinubu is banking on that ‘my governors will help me’. How many senators or senatorial candidates does Atiku have? How many people for House Representatives, how many for House of Assembly? They haven’t got much of that.
“You are also going to need agents nationwide, thousands of them. That will form part of structures,” Momodu said on Arise TV Morning Show on Monday.
Momodu said he was amazed how the Obi camp would be competing with the PDP that had been in existent for a long time with strong structures.
“If you say ‘we don’t pay ‘shi shi’, you can see how people are moving away in droves in some of these smaller parties because the structures are not there. The structures also include the funding of each of those structures.
“We shall see in the next one week what will happen. The polls will not help Obi. If they like, let one million say Obi is going to win,” Momodu added.
