Ninety-three-year-old first Republic Aviation Minister,
Chief Mbazulike Amaechi has said if for any reason the candidate of the Labour
Party (LP), Mr Peter Obi, loses in next year’s presidential poll he (Amaechi)
would conclude that God created Nigeria to suffer.
The nonagenarian stated this, weekend, at his country home,
in a chat with select journalists while declaring his support for Obi and his
running mate, Datti Baba Ahmed.
He warned that nothing untoward should happen to Obi ahead
of the 2023 general elections, stating that Nigeria’s situation would worsen if
anything happened to him (Obi).
He said, “I don’t think it was just an accident that Peter
Obi emerged. I think it was God’s way. If anything happens to him, it would
worsen the situation in Nigeria and the situation may degenerate to something
non describable.
“If they’re afraid of Obi who is just a beginner, why should
they not be eternally afraid? Peter Obi is the only governor who left office
and nobody asked him any questions.
“He didn’t know the office of EFCC, ICPC or DSS because of
his clean records. The man who succeeded him wanted to leave the country two
hours he handed over, meaning he wanted to sneak away.
“Many other governors who left office have been arrested and
charged to court but they ran into Senate or APC as a party and today their
cases are closed. That’s the kind of rotten country you have. Yet people are
suffering, and may continue to suffer.
“I don’t think God created us to continue to suffer. The
2023 election is an opportunity he’s provided for us to right the wrongs. You
will see how the whole world will embrace Nigeria if Peter Obi wins the
election and all the criminals and looters will melt away to Dubai.”
