A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dan Ulasi, says former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi has more than a 60 percent chance of emerging as Nigeria’s president.
Ulasi spoke on Thursday during an appearance on Arise Television’s Morning Show where he addressed the growing political alignment between Obi and former Kano State Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso.
He described the Obi-Kwankwaso engagement as part of ongoing efforts to build national consensus and bridge political divides ahead of future elections.
According to him, both men wield significant influence in their respective regions. “Kwankwaso is not a name you throw out in the North, and neither is Peter Obi a name you throw out in the South,” Ulasi said.
He noted that a partnership between the two could usher in a new era of development and progress for the country.
Ulasi added that zoning considerations favour the South, stating: “It’s an unwritten law that the South will have eight years. The North has had eight years under Buhari, so we have four more years to complete the southern tenure.”
He expressed optimism that the collaboration, if successful, would become “an exciting and very strong political process.”
“From what is happening in the country, he (Peter Obi) has more than 60 percent chance of emerging as the President of this country,” Ulasi said.
