Nigerian Singer and Song Writer, Peter Okoye of Psquare, has called out Dele Momodu, a PDP Presidential candidate, over claims that Peter Obi of Labour Party(LP) will not emerge president in 2023.
Dele Momodu said on Tuesday when he showed up on a current affairs programme that Peter Obi could not win the 2023 presidential election in a local party like the Labour Party.
When asked if Peter Obi would be able to pull the type of votes Trump did in the US, which nobody thought existed or get a large number of youths to vote for him in the general election, Momodu said it’s impossible.
According to him, the first thing Obi would face is to fund the party because the party is not financially buoyant and Nigerians do not make contributions.
He said: “For me, the two of the best that were in the PDP were myself and Peter Obi and he had 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.”
Responding to Momodu, Okoye, in a series of tweets on Twitter, averred that Obi might not have money and structure but he has the youths and masses behind him.
According to him, the 2023 election is beyond delegates as the masses will control the outcome of the election.
He tweeted: “With all due respect Sir Mr Dele Momodu! Yes, Peter Obi might not have the money and structure! But he has the Youths,The Masses and The People now! The truth is
