2027: Showunmi questions Peter Obi’s strategy, calls him lazy
A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Segun Showunmi, has criticised former presidential candidate Peter Obi, describing him as lazy, particularly in matters of political structure and strategy.
Showunmi made the remarks on Saturday while speaking on Hard Copy, a programme aired on Channels Television.
According to him, Obi’s political movements reflect a lack of seriousness and long-term planning.
He said, “Peter Obi is not serious. He doesn’t know where his victory card is. He could have stayed in the Labour Party, and there could have been a clear path to victory for him.
“Every time he’s moving around. I don’t deal with that kind of laziness. When it comes to structural thinking, Peter Obi is very lazy. He is too lazy to think that if he had remained in APGA all this while, he couldn’t have built the crowd he has now.
“Now he has aligned himself with people among whom I know he can’t even win a primary. I know Atiku very well, and nobody takes him for granted when it comes to primaries because he has institutional experience of how these things work out since 1992.
“You don’t come to a political party with that kind of man and start screaming that if it’s not Peter Obi, you won’t agree. Who will listen to that?”
