A former deputy governor of Sokoto state declines being a running mate with Peter Obi after Labour party contacted him..
Shagari reveals in his interview on Channels news Politics today that he declined the opportunity because he thinks Peter Obi doesn't stand a chance in the 2023 presidential election
Shagari said "the Labour party contacted me and requested if I would like to be the vice presidential candidate to Peter Obi"
"And I looked at the political scenario, what Labour party is and decided that I cannot be the vice presidential candidate"
And further said" I do not see the path through which Peter Obi will win the election in this country"
"It is so clear that in areas in South-East and young people are shouting about him on social media - yes it is politics, anything can happen.
"But the truth of the matter is that there are two dominant parties are in this country - APC and PDP. If you want to become President, I think you must belong to one of them."
He concluded by saying it's purely a party affair.
