Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, has responded Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai’s comment on his chances, saying that the governor only gave him area of concentration, AOC, ahead the 2023 election.
Obi was responding to questions posed to him on Arise Television on Sunday where he was asked to respond to projections made on his chances by El-Rufai.
The Kaduna State governor had projected that Obi can’t score more than 1% in Sokoto , 2% in Katsina.
He also added that Obi is a Nollywood actor and should focus on acting.
Obi’s response was typically witty, funny while taking the sting out of comment meant to down play his chances.
” I thank El Rufai for what he said, at least he gave me some percentages; I’ll work hard to improve on that,” Obi said.
On El-Rufai dismissing him as an actor, Obi said, “the Entertainment Industry is one of the engines that will develop us as a nation. I’ll focus on that and Nollywood.
“And since he said I’m an actor, I’m calling on all those in the entertainment industry, including Nollywood, to support me” Obi added.
