A top member of Mr Peter Obi’s campaign team, Aisha Yesufu has openly asked supporters of Peter Obi, also known as #Obidients in Enugu State to back the governorship candidate of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Mr Frank Nweke Jr.
In a viral video, Yesufu said there were some corrupt opportunists who have joined Labour Party and are now benefitting from Obi’s proven capacity.
Millions of ordinary Nigerians backed the candidature of Obi, not minding their religious background, political party or ethnicity. According to them, they voted for the personality of Peter Obi, not necessarily for Labour Party, because he has an excellent track record.
Speaking in the video, the human rights activist reminded #Obidients of their obligation to work for a New Nigeria which Obi preaches, adding that Nweke Jr has stood up for a New Nigeria and for Peter Obi when most Igbo elites refused to support his presidential ambition.
Nweke Jnr, who has openly declared himself “Frankly Obidient,” is a frontrunner governorship candidate in the March 11 election.
The outcomes of the last Saturday’s elections have upset the status quo in Enugu with the ruling Peoples Democratic Party lossing 8 out of 10 national assembly seats. Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi lost also lost his bid to go to Senate.
Yesufu, who was referring to Edeoga when she inferred that opportunists are in Labour Party, cautioned the #Obidients to ensure that Enugu State does not go to anyone other than Frank Nweke Jr whom she said has the character, capacity and competence.
Edeoga, the immediate past Commissioner for Environment in Enugu State, would go down in history as the worst to serve in that capacity, according to available statistics.
