A former Director, the Presidential Campaign Council of the ruling All Progressives Congress, Hajia Naja’atu Mohammed has come out to explain why she chose to support the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar over the Labour Party candidate, Peter Obi for the presidency in the forthcoming general elections.

She recently had her say while speaking to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to her, she is pitching her tent with Atiku and not Obi because of the latter’s lack of structure and willingness to make marks outside specific geopolitical zones.

Hajia added that Peter Obi is a movement without structure, and that will cost him.

Her words, “I am not doing Atiku today for anything. I gave my reasons, and my reasons I said, Peter Obi is a movement without structure.”

“I also said this is the first time the Nigerian youths have a voice and are coming together to form some kind of movement; it is not even about Peter Obi. This movement will outlive Mr Peter Obi.”

“What I said is that they have a structural problem.”

“I will give you an example; Buhari, since 2003, was getting 15 million votes, but he could not be president.”

“Why? Despite the cult followership the North gave to Buhari, why didn’t he win? He did not win because he had structural problems and could not build bridges.”

“It took the alliance, which he had rejected severally with the Southwest in particular, that he was able to become president; that is the only reason.”

“I have no luxury of time and that is why I said I am choosing between a devil and a deep blue sea.”
