A former Minister of Information, Jerry Gana has confirmed that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is currently wooing Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party.
Gana while speaking during an interview on AIT Focus Nigeria said the party has been reaching out to notable politicians ahead of the 2027 general elections.
He said, “He [Obi] is not the only person. We are also moving to other persons. But I don’t want to announce until we really get there.”
The former minister said Atiku Abubakar would have held his head high a played a fatherly role by dropping his presidential ambition for Obi.
He also stated that the PDP has set up a delegation that he would be leading to woo former members of the party.
According to him, the PDP is now a solid platform focused on emerging victorious in the next election.
“I have a very solid platform. I can now go back to these people and say the platform you were complaining about is now set, proper, and ready to move. I know many of them would respond,” Gana said.
