Alhaji Mukhtar Shagari, a former deputy governor of Sokoto State, has disclosed that he was approached to serve as Mr. Peter Obi’s running partner but turned down the offer.
As a leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), he asserted that he firmly thinks that the PDP will always be victorious against the Labour Party in elections.
Alhaji Mukhtar Shagari made a statement in an interview with Channels TV Politics Today.
He asserts that “lofty ideas” are not necessary to address Nigeria’s problems.
For instance, Shagari cited the absence of the Labour Party from his hometown of Sokoto.
