Dan Ulasi Suggests Peter Obi Could Secure 60% Chance as ADC Candidate

Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) stalwart Dan Ulasi has put forward the view that Peter Obi, the former presidential candidate for the Labour Party, possesses a significant probability of securing the presidential nomination for the African Democratic Congress (ADC). Ulasi estimates Obi's chances at approximately 60 percent, a projection influenced by the current landscape of opposition consultations and coalition efforts.

In a recent interview with ARISE NEWS on Thursday, Ulasi discussed the dynamic political realignments occurring in Nigeria. He expressed his belief that developing alliances among prominent political figures could fundamentally alter the structure of opposition politics in the lead-up to the upcoming general elections.

"The Peter Obi–Kwankwaso effect is part of the gradual process we are building across the country, building bridges across this country. Kwankwaso is not a name you throw out in the North. Neither is Peter Obi a name you throw out in the South."

He underscored the considerable political influence that both individuals command within their respective regions. "Kwankwaso is not a name you dismiss in the North. Likewise, Peter Obi holds significant sway in the South. This is part of the incremental process we are fostering nationwide, creating connections across the country."

Ulasi cautioned against viewing these political developments as mere casual conversations, stating, "So these are part of the discussions, and what is happening is part of the gradual process we are building across this country, building bridges across this country. What I’m saying is that the Peter Obi–Kwankwaso effect is part of the gradual process."
