The former Director-General of the Labour Party Presidential Campaign Council, Akin Osuntokun, on Tuesday, said the only condition that can make the party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 elections, Peter Obi, consider returning to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is if he will be given the presidential ticket.
It will be recalled that former Vice President and candidate of the PDP in the 2023 presidential election, Atiku Abubakar, had recently said that if in 2027, the party decided that it is the South-East’s turn and picked Obi as its candidate, he would readily offer his support.
“I have said repeatedly and I even said it before the 2023 general elections that if the PDP decides to zone the presidential ticket to the South or South-East specifically, I won’t contest it. As long as it’s the decision of the party, I will abide by it. But I contested the 2023 presidential ticket because it was thrown open to all members of the party.
