Jerry Gana, a founding member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has stated that if Peter Obi returns to the party, he will defeat any opponent he faces in the North.
Gana made this statement while fielding questions on Arise TV’s Prime Time on Wednesday night.
Despite attending many meetings with the African Democratic Congress, Obi’s words have fuelled rumours that he may return to the PDP.
Obi ran for presidency under the umbrella of the Labour Party, LP, in the 2023 polls.
According to Gana, Obi’s best bet of becoming president is to run under the PDP in the next general elections.
He said: “I’m a researcher, and I research opinions.
“In the northern states, Peter Obi under the PDP will defeat any candidate, because our people are very fair-minded.
“In 2031, it will be the turn of the North.
“Our people are very fair and we are building a nation.”
