Lai Mohammed: Peter Obi Wouldn't Have Won 2023 Presidency Even with 10 Million Votes

Lai Mohammed, the former Minister of Information and Culture, dismissed the possibility of Peter Obi winning the 2023 presidential election, emphasizing that even if Obi secured 10 million votes, he would not have met the constitutional threshold to clinch the presidency. Mohammed discussed the electoral dynamics, particularly in Lagos State, where ethnic and religious factors play a significant role in shaping voting patterns.

He differentiated between presidential contests and other levels of elections in Nigeria, citing President Bola Tinubu's leadership style as an example. Mohammed praised Tinubu's loyal support base and political acumen, noting that his affable nature sometimes leads people to underestimate him.
