In other news…. Nigeria’s Minister of Art, Culture and the Creative Economy, Hannatu Musa Musawa, has stated that former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, lacks the political strength required to win elections in Nigeria’s core northern region.
Musawa made the remark during a recent political interview in which she dismissed Obi’s chances of securing significant electoral support in the North, citing entrenched regional dynamics and political structures.
According to the minister, Obi’s political appeal does not align with the realities of northern voting patterns, insisting that there is little he can do to alter electoral outcomes in the region.
“There’s nothing Peter Obi will do in the core North that will make him win elections there,” Musawa said.
She went on to compare Obi’s political movement to the early presidential attempts of former President Muhammadu Buhari, who unsuccessfully contested several times before eventually winning with the backing of a broader political coalition.
“His movement reminds me of Buhari in 2003, 2007 and 2011. Buhari tried to win on his own multiple times but couldn’t until Tinubu intervened,” she stated.
Musawa explained that Buhari’s eventual success was achieved through strategic alliances, particularly with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, which helped him gain national acceptance beyond his traditional support base.
Her comments come amid recent political developments involving Peter Obi, who announced his defection from the Labour Party to the African Democratic Congress (ADC). Obi said the move was motivated by patriotism and a desire to rescue Nigeria from what he described as the failures of the APC-led government.
