ENUGU, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- A former Governor of Anambra state governor in the third republic, Ezeife Emeka, says some of the political figures in the South-East that spoke against the Presidential ambition of Mr Peter Obi are doing so for a reason.
Ezeife made the claims while speaking during the annual yam festival in Abuja.
According to him, those speaking against Obi are only defending the interest of Igbo people.
According to him, they don’t want it to sound like it is all the Igbos that are in support of Obi.
“Who has spoken against Peter Obi in Igbo Land ? You can count on your one hand. Some of them are doing it in defense of Igbo.
“Maybe by next year when we will celebrate our new year yam festival, a president of Igbo origin will be here to celebrate with us.
“This is Abuja and the next president will also be in Abuja, therefore the president of Igbo origin will come to the New yam festival in Abuja next year,” Ezeife said.
