ENUGU, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- The apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide says that those worried by the endorsement of Mr Peter Obi, of the Labour Party presidential candidate, by former President Olusegun Obasanjo are benefactors, facilitators of criminality and hardship in Nigerians.
The Igbo group called on Nigerians and political elite, especially other Presidential candidates, to accept the verdict of Obasanjo in his open letter and endorsement of Obi as the bitter pills to cure the maladies and ailments that plague Nigeria.
This was contained in a press release issued by the Secretary General of the Ohaneze Ndigbo, Mazi Okechuwu Isiguzoro.
He said that the protesters against the Obasanjo’s endorsement are fighting back to ensure that the corrupt systems are in the process for them to continue feathering their nests beyond 2023.
Isiguzoro said: “This Obasanjo’s open endorsement has knocked out the gang of looters in the system and their enraged responses to the Obasanjo’s endorsement of Peter Obi, brought to light those who are the enemies and problems of Nigeria and they are fighting back to make sure that the status quo of looting and corruption continues with the next government.”
He claimed that politicians who were unsettled and reacted angrily to Former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s endorsement of Labour Party Presidential Candidate Peter Obi are those who fought hard to get the nod of Obasanjo for 2023.
However, the unexpected open letter unmasked their notorious ambitions and desires to sell off what is remaining of Nigeria.
Isiguzoro therefore, urged Nigerians to shun all the selfish politicians and their Presidential candidates, saying “they don’t mean well for Nigerians.”
He advised Nigerians “To explore the opportunity provided by INEC to collect their PVCs from 6th to 22nd January 2023. All endorsements of Mr. Peter Obi are meaningful when Nigerians respond to the collection of PVCs positively, but the adversaries of Obasanjo will succeed in their devilish agendas when Nigerians refuse to pick up their uncollected PVCs.“
