2027 Presidential Race: I’ll Win Tinubu with his 30 APC Governors in Free, Fair Poll – Obi

By Praise Chinecherem

Former Presidential Candidate of Labour Party in 2023 general elections said he would not be intimidated by the large number of governors in the All Progressives Congress (APC).

He claimed there had been several orchestrations targeted at displacing him from the contest, insisting he would not be deterred.

Obi spoke on Friday in Nimo, Njikoka Local Government Area of the State at the empowerment programe of member representing Dunukofia, Njikoka, Anaocha federal constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon George Ozodinobi.

Addressing supporters, Obi, former governor of the state declared that Nigeria has totally collapsed, hence the need to redeem her.

He said he has never been desperate to be president of Nigeria, rather he is desperate to see a Nigeria that works.

Obi said, “Nigeria has collapsed and already lying on the ground. Nigeria is not working because many rich Nigerians are hungry and greedy. They have everything they need, but still scavenging for more.

“This is an empowerment programe, but you will be surprised that many well to do persons will come here to struggle for things they have no need for. Go to their compound you will see better vehicles than the ones they are struggling for.

“This country is skewed against the poor, and that is why we are working to become president. We want a country where the son of a nobody can become somebody without knowing anybody.

“I have always said it that I’m not desperate to be the president of Nigeria, but I’m desperate to see a Nigeria that works.

“You all know that I’m now in ADC. People have been asking me why I left LP, but I told them that we have been in court in Labour Party over leadership.

“We have been securing favourable judgement, but INEC refused to recognize us, but when I left on 31 December, they recognized the same orders they were rejecting.

“You see all the things they have been tinkering with the constitution, some of them are because they don’t want me to contest. But I want to tell them that with their 30 governors, they should make the election free and fair and see who wins.

“I want to announce to you all that no matter what they do, I must contest the election. Let them declare a free and fair contest, bring the ball to the middle of the field and declare it started, and lets see what happens.”

Commending the lawmaker for the empowerment materials, the presidential hopeful said such gesture was reason he insists only good politicians should be sent to Abuja as representatives.
