It’ll Be Foolish For Anybody Not To Back Obi, S-east Govs Not Against Him by RipplesNigeria: 11:36am On Oct 18, 2018
It’ll be foolish for anybody not to back Obi, S-East govs not against him —Gov Ikpeazu
Abia State governor, Okezie Ikpeazu has described as a lie, reports that South East governors and leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are not in support of Peter Obi’s nomination as the running mate to the party’s presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, for the 2019 election.

The governor said that it will be “foolhardy for anybody not to queue behind a man” like Obi to have him continue to serve the country to the best of his ability.

Obi, a former governor of Anambra State was recently chosen by Atiku as his running mate, but South-East governors and some leaders of the party in the region kicked, that they were not consulted before his selection.

But speaking during an interview with newsmen in Aba when Obi visited the state over the pipeline explosion in Osisioma Ngwa council, Ikpeazu denied the report and described Obi as a worthy son of Igbo land and a gift from the people to Nigeria.

“It is a lie that South East governors and Igbo political leaders in PDP are opposed to Peter Obi as vice presidential candidate. Let me use this opportunity to congratulate our brother and a worthy son of Igbo land for his nomination. He’s a gift from Ndigbo to this country. His works and pedigree bears eloquent testimony of the Igbo DNA.

“It will be foolhardy for anybody not to queue behind a man like this to continue to serve this country to the best of his ability. What the South East governors said was that we expect our candidate to come back from his trip and have a tete-a-tete with us and he has said he will come to speak with us.
