The former Kogi west senator Dino Melaye, said that the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, was not known nationally until his PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, discovered him.
Melaye said Atiku discovered LP’s candidate, Peter Obi before keyboard warriors.
Describing the PDP presidential candidate as a talent hunter, Melaye said Obi was unknown before Atiku identified him.
Melaye was speaking at an event organized by a women’s political group, Diamond Ladies in Politics, in Abuja, over the weekend.
Melaye maintained that everyone who was a reformer in Nigeria between 1999 and to date was discovered by Atiku.
He said: “Atiku discovered Obi before keyboard warriors discovered Obi. Unfortunately, elections are not going to take place on social media. It is going to take place at the polling units. And those that would vote are the people here. So it is now operation votes must count.
“Out of all the presidential candidates, he is the only one with Presidential campaign experience. All of them are running for the office of the president for the first time. From Kwankwaso, to Obi to Tinubu and others. Atiku has led this route before. He understands it and he will emerge victorious by the grace of God.”
