A  former Governor of Kaduna State, Ahmed Makarfi, has said Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, is gaining prominence nationwide due to the frustration of the youths.

Naija News reports that Obi dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in May and emerged as the LP presidential candidate during its Special National Convention in Asaba, the Delta State capital.

In an interview with Channels Television on Tuesday, Makarfi said the youths are using Obi as a symbol due to the failure of the All Progressives Congress (APC) government.

The former PDP National Chairman also pointed out that youths should not make decisions on the presidential candidate to vote for in anger.

He, however, claimed that the former Governor of Anambra State was not allowed to achieve his presidential ambition in the PDP due to the region he came from.

He said: “Peter Obi, it is my personal opinion that even if he was frustrated out of PDP, that one must have come from where come from not from any other parts of this country, and it is this politics of edging this person out, edging that person out, and politics is like that."

"What is happening now in my opinion is not so much about Peter Obi but the frustration of the youths and they are using him as a symbol. Let’s agree that was the case, any decision based on anger will not produce anything positive. We accept the frustration but the only rational way forward is to go the way of PDP.”

Anyone who can give me 20 notable achievements in pictorial form of how PO was able to lift and transform Anambra then je or she may try to convince me to support him.

Cutting cost does not mean good governance.

Our President cannot be made in Aba.

MasterJayJay:


We must not convince everyone.

You are free to vote your BAT so he can employ 50 million youths into the military and pursue 120 million criminals..

You don't want your president to be made in Aba but you are collecting crude oil, taxes from Abia.
