Ulasi Warned Obi: Protect Your Vote or Go Nowhere

A senior chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Dan Ulasi, has made a bold declaration regarding the 2023 presidential election. In a recent television interview, he authoritatively stated that the Labour Party’s candidate, Peter Obi, was the true winner of the poll.

Chief Ulasi Details the 2023 Election Outcome

During his appearance on Symfoni TV, the former PDP chairman for Anambra State did not mince words. He claimed that Peter Obi secured 6.7 million votes, surpassing Atiku Abubakar’s 6.2 million. He asserted that the declared winner only managed “eight-something million” after what he described as widespread irregularities. Ulasi specifically pointed to alleged voter suppression in Lagos State and several northern regions as key factors that influenced the final result.

A Warning and Advice for the Future

The PDP stalwart revealed that he had personally cautioned Peter Obi about the need to protect his votes. Ulasi recounted a meeting with Obi at his home, where he advised the Labour Party leader that popular support alone was insufficient. He emphasized that without a concrete plan to defend the votes, victory would remain elusive. Ulasi believes the same structural challenges that marred the 2023 election are still present and must be confronted.

As detailed in the complete version, there are several key factors to consider.

Peter Obi Remains a Formidable Challenger

Despite the disputed outcome, Chief Ulasi expressed strong belief in Peter Obi’s political strength. He described Obi as the only figure who can effectively and positively challenge the current government and win. According to him, Obi possesses the unique capacity to unite Nigerians and mount a credible opposition ahead of the next electoral cycle. This endorsement highlights the ongoing political significance of the 2023 presidential election and sets the stage for future contests.
