A chieftain of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Prince Richard Ozobu, has said that the records and actions of the presidential candidate of the Labour party, Mr. Peter Obi, during his tenure as the Governor of Anambra State, disqualifies him from contesting for the presidency of Nigeria.

Ozobu, who said the chances of the Labour Party candidate in the 2023 election are too slim, alleged that Obi doesn’t believe in democracy as he refused to conduct council polls in throughout his eight years tenure as the Governor of Anambra State.

He further stated that Obi abandoned the political party on which he rode to office, despite making his promises that he will never leave APGA for another party.

The Ohanaeze Ndigbo chieftain insisted that Nigerians especially the Igbo should look at Obi’s past records of governance in Anambra state and consider whether he can actually be trusted to keep the promises he has been making to Nigerians.

He warned the Igbo against what he described as ‘committing another political blunder by casting their eggs in one basket’ and voting for the former governor, adding that Labour Party lacks the structures and organization to win the 2023 presidential election.

His words; “We must look at Peter Obi’s past records. It is not enough to say that he is an Igbo man. We have to look at his records. Whether or not he is the right candidate is the issue. This is a former Governor that has been politically inconsistent, joining three political parties within the last ten years. This is a man who refused to conduct local government elections as the Governor of Anambra state for eight years. Then, how do you call somebody with such nasty record a democrat? Through this action, he stifled the growth of the local government system in his state. Obi stunted the growth of politicians who could have passed through the local government system in the eight years Obi governed Anambra state and refused to conduct council polls. People say he is humble and simple, but presidency goes beyond these things. Somebody told me that Obi is an apostle of reducing the cost of governance. Reducing the cost of governance was one of the reasons why he couldn’t do what the Constitution said in terms of conducting local government elections in Anambra state, for which he was impeached as Governor. Obi has too many theoretical ideas about governance. These theories won’t help the South East or the country.

“I don’t see Peter Obi as a good and saleable candidate that the Igbo should crack their heads for. It is not just being an Igbo; you must also have the right qualities. The Igbo have been excellent in trade and commerce but we need to get same quality in politics, governance and administration. Look at the massive youth unemployment and insecurity we have in the South East. How many jobs did Peter Obi create in Anambra state during his tenure as governor?

“Obi started from APGA as a governor. We expected that he would have built APGA after using the platform to govern Anambra state for eight years. APGA was formed to be a core platform to Igbo spring board in politics. During the formation of APGA, I can tell you that Governors of Igbo extraction from other political parties made contributions. One expected that Obi would have remained in APGA to build the party. Obi made promises not to abandon APGA, but he never kept the promise. He defected to the PDP, probably seeking for more political heights for himself. Obi handed over Anambra state to a successor who failed as governor. Without sounding immodest, Obi’s successor, Willie Obiano was a disappointment as Governor. He arbitrarily chose his successor and Obiano turned out to be a mistake in governance of Anambra state. And I’m yet to hear Obi condemn the squander mania and poor performance of his successor. The Igbo have an adage which says that charity begins at home. How well did Obi perform at home?

“Now, he is contesting for the presidency on the platform of a party that lacks structure nationwide. Obi can’t play the game well because he doesn’t understand the political field and the rules.

Emphasizing on the need for alliances that could boost electoral success, Ozobu insisted that the Labour Party lacks the structures and capacity to win the presidential election in 2023.

‘Where are the alliances that the Labour party has built to win the presidential election? Of course, you must build alliances to win. You can’t just stand up to say you are contesting for the presidency, there must be alliances otherwise you are just contesting to make up the numbers. You are calling on Igbo people to support Obi, but have you cared to ask if his running mate, Datti , was actually being backed by the North? Have you also asked if the Northern interest is truly behind Datti? This is where the alliances come in. The Igbo need to do a good check and negotiate with one of the presidential candidates who can deliver to us what we need. The Buhari presidency has brought the Igbo lots of infrastructure, not from those representing the Igbo as Ministers and National Assembly. We need to be cautious with our choices in 2023.

On the way forward for the South East zone in 2023, he said; “Our dilemma has been bad leadership. We put our eggs in one basket and failed to negotiate when others were doing so. It is unfortunate that our leaders have not learnt from the mistakes of the past .We need to ask questions about what has happened to the federal allocations that have accrued to the South East zone since 1999. For 2023, we must work very hard and negotiate well in 2023; otherwise we will continue to lament marginalization after the 2023 presidential election must have been won by those who we refuse to negotiate with.”

All this Atiku boys sef, make una rest na

Same you motherfuckers said that Peter Obi and his Obidient movement will disappear when campaign proper starts but here we are today, Peter Obi and his Obidient movement is the most strongest and focused in this campaign

Bola Tinubu urchins said that Peter Obi will be reduced to nothing before January, but here we are today winning more grounds and giving the Nigerian people real hope for a better Nigeria for all.


All this hate comments and propaganda on Mr Peter Obi by his political opponents is a waste of time , Peter Obi will win the Presidential election and lead Nigeria to the path of prosperity.

You don't need to talk further Nigerians know all these...

Being an obidient is a failure

Smiles

We have sailed pass this level of propaganda

oyin44:
You don't need to talk further Nigerians know all these...

Being an obidient is a failure

And Nigerians will vote for this thief you called Tinubu abi

If truly this man said this then he is very foolish, He said that Obi did not conduct the local government election without giving reason which of course was because of court injunction that they procured to stop him from doing that thinking that it will reduce the chances of his party taking over the local government structures but it backfired on them.

He said that Obi left Apga to another party, with the kind of People in APGA, no progressive person will remain in APGA and it is better to be alone than to be in an ill company. Obi did well the same way he left PDP else, we would have been left in between the devil and deep blue sea.

Ndi should negotiate and I ask, negotiate for what? all the time you have been on PDP, what do you have to show for it, Oh, brown envelop and money meant for community development that you people always embezzle.

Putting all your eggs in one basket is not applicable when your own ticks all the dots.
Putting all your egg in one basket is not applicable when your people are dying like chicken.

Finally, he talked about his successor not being good enough whereas they are the same people that rewarded him with another tenure even when Obi objected to that.

Old man should go and sleep, the era of politics of envelop will soon be the thing of past.

I think they have come to realize that Peter Obi is not an igbo project but a Nigeria one.

He is the only available choice for the patriotic Nigerians like us. The only person that can fight insecurity and corruption head on without any fear or favour.

Obi is a fraud

Obi is a monumental fraud.

You people should fear God, how on Earth are some people falling for the so called obidient and agreeing to vote for a thief?

Someone without any verifiable achievement as governor for good eight years.

I don't have problems with Igbo producing the president, my only concern is that, Obi is a fraudulent character.

Igbo people have better people.

Infact the only achievement of obi is being an Igbo man.

Crying for structureless party

This man was only re-echoing the message of Soludo. Without an alliance with either of the big two tribes, no ibo man will smell the gate of Aso rock but zombidients get coconut head, dem no dey hear word but by February, their nzogbu nzogbu muscle will come down flat.

These are the people he governed and they are giving us first hand info about him.

why?

Because they love Nigeria unlike the foolish people calling themselves obidients.

Be truthful to yourself for once, has Obi kickstarted his campaign?

Was his campaign not better around the month of August last year?

Why not carry the same momentum to the election day?

Andrew liver salt party.

Aka

LIGBO PARTY

hmm

Dem no dey warn pikin make hin no jam leprosy, if hin get mind relocate enta jungle, no problem...

Election remain 35days, I just can't wait

Lies and propaganda. The attached picture is also Nnia Nwodo not Ozobu

Obaofaba:

Every ibo man and woman knew that Peter Obi failed spectacularly as Governor but unfortunately, the quest to produce an ibo President is making them queue behind the wrong person. Even on Nairaland, majority of easterners who called him a failure 10 yrs ago are today calling him the Messiah. The good news is that Obi will never happen to Nigeria.
