The spokesman of the Atiku Campaign Organisation, Dino Melaye, has dismissed the social media frenzy generated by Peter Obi, saying the Labour Party presidential candidate does not stand a chance of winning next year’s poll. Melaye, who was speaking as a guest in a televised interview on Friday, maintained that social media does not win elections in Nigeria. He restated that social media popularity does not equate to voting power. Melaye cited the recent performance of the Labour Party in the Osun State governorship election as an indication that social media is different from the reality on the ground. The former lawmaker also dismissed Obi’s ability to reposition the economy, which is the main thrust of the former Anambra governor’s campaign, if he wins. As far as he is concerned, only his principal, Atiku, has the capacity to unite Nigeria and tackle headlong the challenges facing the country.
