Former Deputy Governor of Sokoto State, Alhaji Mukhtar Shagari, has revealed that he was contacted to be the running mate of the Labour Party (LP) Presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, but he rejected the offer.

According to him, resolving the challenges facing Nigeria as a nation does not require “lofty ideas.”He said, “I was contacted to be the running mate of Peter Obi. I told them I will not be able to leave my Party because I believe in the philosophy of my Party, I believe in what my Party stands for Nigeria and I also believe that the Labour Party will not be able to beat my party at any election.

Why are you now coming out to make noise when the ship is going to win the presidential elections? .

Nigerians are lucky that you rejected when compared with a younger,amiable business cum academic guru, Datti of Nigeria.

He missed his chance to make history.
