Mohammed O. Taoheed reports,
Dino Melaye, the spokesman of the Atiku Abubakar presidential campaign organization, has described supporters of Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party, (Obedients), “hype mercenaries” and “impression agenda-setting movement”.
Melaye gave this attack in an interview on Monday when asked how his political party is currently reacting to other parties on how they are mobilizing Nigerians ahead of the campaign and the 2023 general elections.
Melaye claimed that Nigerians at the Abuja rally (of Peter Obi) were hungry Nigerians bought for political mobilization.
The PDD chieftain pointed that assembling a crowd in Nigeria is very easy.
He noted that commercial mobilization is the easiest thing in the country currently because Nigerians are hungry and are willing to openly represent a political party willing to buy their attention.
âTo assemble a crowd is just to bring out money, mobilization is very cheap in this country, people are hungry, you could see how people gathered inside a bus from various states, just to pretend,â he said.
The Atiku campaign spokesman, however, stated that Nigerians are smart to know who would represent them, citing PDPâs victory in the Osun governorship election to further substantiatehis claims.
Similarly, Dino equally said that it is not the march of the street that will determine the election.
He hinted that his party is dealing with people by being practical and real to be able to interact with the real people that will vote in 2023.
