The Obi-Datti Media Office has replied the former governor of Ekiti State Ayo Fayose over his statement that he does not see Labour Party winning 25% in 24 states of the federation.
The office said in a statement on Friday that Fayose’s view was unsubstantiated bearing in mind that several polls have pitched Obi far ahead of other presidential candidates.
“LP presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi and his Running mate, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmad are not targeting 24 states for victory but the entire country meaning the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory,” the statement said.
“We are well aware that making 25% of the votes cast in 24 states is the minimum requirement to win the Presidency, but LP is looking at the entire country since its flag bearer is a national person to be limited to any region.
“Ex-Governor Fayose is certainly living in the past by refusing to capture the political mood of the country which is beyond geopolitical, ethnic, regional, state and my turn interests.
“Nigerian youths who are driving the Obidient Movement are spread and active in every state of the federation and their target is overwhelming and outright victory across board.”

The Media Office noted that Fayose and his like are probably relying on the old order unaware that Obi has kick-started the Take-back-Nigeria project through the Labour Party.
“Mr. Fayose possibly due to political reason did not want to factor in the opinion polls conducted scientifically and professionally by three professional bodies, ANAP Foundation, Bloomberg and the Arewa Trust foundation all giving victory at the poll to LP’s Peter Obi.
“Since these scientifically proven polls were conducted few months ago, Peter Obi and his Obidient Movement have had their profiles ascending not declining meaning that victory in 2023 by Labour Party is being more enhanced.
“Finally, for purposes of emphasis, every indicator ahead of 2023 is showing clearly that Labour Party candidate is cruising to victory because his messages have sunk with the people and has made the people’s decision to take back the country unanimous, total and unflinching.
“The train has left the station and we expect progressive minds like Fayose to join,” it added.
