A former presidential aide, Doyin Okupe, has denied a report that the Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi has struck a deal with the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar with respect to the 2023 election.

Okupe noted that the former Anambra governor is enjoying the massive support of Nigerians, especially the youth and is far ahead of all other presidential candidates in the country.

Obi was Atiku’s running mate for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2019 presidential election.

Okupe in a statement on Wednesday maintained that Obi cannot, be negotiating with any other less popular candidates or their parties.

“Members of the public are hereby advised to ignore this cheap, self-serving and distracting propaganda, which we also believe is not coming from the Atiku camp.

“The train of the OBIdient movement gathers more and more electorates on an hourly basis, while it is evident that the political fortunes and followership of the other parties diminish and recede like a drying lake in the scorching heat of an arid desert.
