2023: “18 govs behind LP’s candidate Obi”
Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has revealed how the PDP and the APC are all in jitters watching the popularity of the LP candidate and champion of the Igbo agenda in the 2023 presidential election.
A statement by Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, the secretary-general of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, stated that no fewer than 18 governors, and former past leaders, are now in support of Peter Obi.
Isiguoro, however, didn’t name the governors.
According to the group, the courage and the determination of Nigerians—Obidients–trooping out in the different parts of the country in support of Obi, confirm people recognize the former PDP presidential aspirant as the face of change.
“This is a movement to take back Nigeria from the days of locusts, greedy and selfish politicians.
“It is a movement to rescue the country from adversity, economic slump, ASUU strike, insecurity and corruption.
“Nigerians have demonstrated readiness to take back their country through the ballot box and it behoves on the INEC to make the votes count,” he said.
“As we speak, about 18 Governors from the North and the South, cutting across party lines, are behind the scenes putting up structures for Obi to win the 2023 election. In addition, some former Presidents and elder statesmen are in support of Obi’s candidature.
“They are all convinced that Obi has something different from all the other candidates.
“We are glad that for the first time in the recent past, Nigerians are united in the dethronement of misgovernance in Aso Rock. They are determined to make a political change through the ballot box with a third force presidency.
“This is the first time we are seeing such a strong political movement in Nigeria that is not being sponsored by politicians, rather the masses own the project.
“You have seen the mass movement across the country and beyond; you have seen even children, the persons with special needs, the aged, everyone is part of this movement.”
He called on INEC not to deny the will of the people.
