Muktar Shagari says he declined the offer to be Peter Obi’s running mate because LP does not have the needed spread to win the 2023 presidential election.
A former deputy governor of Sokoto State, Muktar Shagari, has said the vice presidential ticket of the Labour Party was offered to him, but he declined.
“The Labour party contacted me and requested if I would like to be the vice presidential candidate to Peter Obi. Mr Shagari stressed that the LP remains a social media frenzy, adding that the race is between the ruling All Progressives Congress and the PDP. “But the truth of the matter is that there are two dominant parties in this country – APC and PDP. If you want to become president, I think you must belong to one of them,” Mr Shagari, a former water resources minister said.
