Political activist and commentator, Deji Adeyanju has played down the chances of the presidential candidates of the Labour Party, Peter Obi; Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) and Omoyele Sowore of the African Action Congress and other party flag bearers of defeating the candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abubakar Atiku and Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu respectively, in the 2023 presidential elections.

Adeyanju who pointed this out in a series of tweets on Monday, advised that the “lesser” parties should team up and form an alliance if they hope to stand a chance against the mega parties.

In one of the tweets, the socio-political analyst warned that elections are won in rural areas and not the urban centres and as such, politicians should swallow their pride and work together.

“There’s no way Peter Obi, Kwankwaso, Sowore and other politicians can defeat APC and PDP if they don’t work together. There is no polling booth on the social media. Elections are not won in urban areas, but rural areas.

“Politicians should learn to swallow their pride and work together. This ‘I must be president by all means’ is why APC and PDP will continue to humble egoistic political actors.

“Embrace this truth in the best interest of Nigerians and work together,” he posted.
