The camp of the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (PDP), Peter Obi, has reacted to the controversial statement made by the former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar.
Applesbite reports that Atiku, during an Interactive Session with Arewa Joint Committee held on Saturday in Kaduna State, said Northerners need to vote for him because he is a Pan-Nigerian with a northern extraction that has built bridges across the country.

The former Vice President said Northerners do not need any Yoruba or Igbo candidate as president of the country.

He had said: “What the average Northerner needs is somebody who’s from the north and also understands that part of the country and has been able to build bridges across the country.

“This is what the Northerner needs, it doesn’t need a Yoruba or Igbo candidate, I stand before you as a Pan-Nigerian of Northern origin.”

Following the development, the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its Presidential Campaign Council slammed the former vice president over his ethnic sentiment.

In a chat with The Punch, media aide to the LP Presidential candidate, Emeka Obasi, expressed disappointment in Atiku over the divisive statement.

Obasi said he was shocked to see a frontline presidential flagbearer playing such an ethnic card.

He said, “I saw the video of Atiku’s ethnic sentiment but I didn’t want to believe he said those things. So, I waited in vain hoping he will deny saying them before I comment.”

Apart from using tribal hate to divide Nigerians, Atiku and Tinubu are totally clueless about how to solve any problems in Nigeria.

Vote for Peter Obi.

okoooo

How has an average northerner benefited from a northern presidency? I pity those that will vote during this election due to ethnic sentiments. It's like Buhari's tenure didn't teach them any lessons

Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike has said that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) owes Nigerians an explanation and an apology following some rather controversial statements made by Atiku Abubakar, the Presidential Candidate of the party.

Atiku had on Sunday in Kaduna asserted that the north does not need Yoruba or Igbo candidates when it comes to the presidency, adding that the only candidate worthy of the coveted seat is him alone.

“I know the whole of this country. I have built bridges across this country. I think what the average northerner needs is somebody who is from the north, who also understands the other parts of Nigeria, and who has been able to build bridges across the rest of the country

Exactly.

Yoruba people should vote for Tinubu

Northern people also should vote for Atiku

Igbo people for Obi

And the 3 of them should be declared winners and from there, everybody goes their separate ways

if u igbos benefited from obi government in anambra u should not b economic scavengers throughout Nigeria today

PeterObi4LP:
I personally have no problem with Atiku Presidency. If Obi can't have it, let Atiku have it.

But I have everything for Tinubu not to become President. I have work with Tinubu and I know what am talking about. Those who knows him very well will never wish Tinubu Nigeria.

Nigerians vote wisely. You don't know Tinubu more than Obasanjo, you don't know Tinubu more than Afenifere, you don't know Tinubu more than Aregbesola, you don't know Tinubu more than Osibanjo, You don't know Tinubu more than the past Generals who endorse Peter Obi, you don't know Tinubu more than FFK. All these people I mentioned are not Igbo or Hausa, they are my kinsmen and elders.

So what the elders sees seating down, you children of 21st century won't see and understand even if you stand tall on mount Olive.

You are not more Yoruba (Omoluabi's) than the people I mentioned. You will surely suffer if Tinubu get there. Take a look what is happening in Lagos state

if this is how u igbos intend to campaign for your ipob plan b then u are on a long thing

Anglican vs Catholic are yet to recover from the religion card Obi played when he was in office few years ago.

this is the election period, any contestant can say anything to win votes EXCEPT INCITING STATEMENT. Atiku didn't make any hate comments like buhari did then or any inciting states like the ones Kanu was making then, he only told his northern brothers and people why they should choose him instead of tinubu and obi.
if obi too likes to let him go to Owerri and tell his IBO not to vote for any Hausa or Yoruba, TINUBU has already said his own to yesterday by saying Yorubas should not vote for Atiku because EMILOKAN

Afamed:

Yeah, but both of them benefitted the #75 billion naira Peter Obi left in our treasury. The religion card you are playing is dead on arrival.
