The apex Igbo political organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, on
Wednesday said the Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, Peter Obi is a monster
to the Peoples Democratic Party’s Atiku Abubakar and the All Progressives
Congress’ Bola Tinubu.
Okechukwu Isiguzoro, the Secretary-General of Ohanaeze, said
the PDP and APC are nervous about Obi’s popularity.
Isiguzoro said Obi is a national phenomenon and not a
Southeast agenda.
In a statement he signed, Isiguzoro said APC and PDP are
nervous that 2023 may be difficult for them to win due to Obi’s popularity.
The statement reads: “Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has
described the popularity of the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Mr.
Peter Obi as a manifestation of a fresh political order and the desires of
Nigerians across all divides, and a nightmare for Nigeria’s treasury looters
and adherents of the old political order.
“APC and PDP are nervous over the realization that 2023
elections might be difficult for them since Nigerians are tired of their
deception and re-cycling of failed politicians; Nigerians are now being
conscious of the first time to rewrite Nigeria’s tragic tales of woes with
relief for competence and trusted Presidency in 2023.”
Isiguzoro said the Labour Party presidential candidate would
correct the errors created by the PDP and APC governments since 1999.
“Obi is the emblem of New Nigeria that will depose maladies
in government since 1999, PDP and APC Presidential candidates are now losing
sleep over the level of consciousness of Nigerians and have resorted to the
backing of Janus-faced groups and individuals to blackmail Mr. Peter Obi and
thwart the public attention on him.
“Those nefarious networks and clandestine meetings on how to
pitch ethnicity, agitation, and twist the records against Mr. Peter Obi will
continue to go awry, like Nnamdi Azikwe, Obi’s popularity and support base is
outside the southeast and his acceptance across the country is for his
competence, age, and transparency in governance, he remains a monster to Atiku
and Tinubu.
“Nigerians are looking forward to beholding a credible and
transparent electoral process in 2023; President Buhari should ensure that INEC
restores the confidence of Nigerians by maintaining neutrality in 2023. We are
doubtful if the INEC National Chairman can give Nigerians free, fair, and
credible elections in 2023,” he said.
