Ajulo urged Obi to move beyond southern Nigeria and reach out to the northern part, as “selling himself to the people of northern extraction may change the narrative.’’

A constitutional lawyer, Kayode Ajulo, on Friday said he has information that three governors in the northern part of the country are willing to support the presidential ambition of Peter Obi, the Labour Party (LP) candidate.
Ajulo told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja ahead of the 2023 general elections that Obi appears not to be very serious about his ambition because he is yet to reach out to some critical stakeholders across the country.
“I will still say Peter Obi is not ready to be president because he is not ready to cross River Niger and even River Owena,’’ Ajulo said.
The lawyer noted that three governors had given indications that they would support Obi’s quest to be the Nigerian president in 2023.

Ajulo said there is need to take advantage of time to reach out to the northern part of the country before political campaigns begin on September 28.
“I am aware of three governors from the North who have given indications to support him,” he said.
Ajulo urged Obi to move beyond southern Nigeria and reach out to the northern part, as “selling himself to the people of northern extraction may change the narrative.’’
He also called on the LP presidential candidate to go beyond social media and embrace real term politics by reaching out to every nook and cranny of the country.
