APC Presidential Council Accuses Obi of Riding On Tinubu’s Crest To Campaign In Lagos

The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Council has accused Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, of running away from his Anambra and southeast homestead to stage campaigns in Lagos because of the alleged iniquities he committed during his time as Anambra governor.

The APC Presidential Council also said that Obi has become panicky in the fear of Bola Tinubu’s favourable emergence as the next president of Nigeria.

The Tinubu campaign team precisely accused Obi of bad leadership in Anambra state with high insecurity, political intolerance and rebellion, lack of popularity resulting in failure to conduct council elections and supposed failures in other spheres of leadership as governor.

Southeast spokesman of the Tinubu campaign council, Dr. Josef Onoh, said that Obi’s Lagos rally was devoid of practical participation of his media warriors, stating that the only achievement Obi recorded in Anambra state was a trace of alcoholic establishment in the state.

Onoh, in a statement made available to The Guardian, recalled that Obi’s successor, Willy Obiano, stated that he met high level of insecurity he inherited from Obi, same as Victor Umeh’s disclosure that he did everything thing possible to convince Obi to work for his own party, APGA, by conducting local government elections to have other APGA elected executives instead of Obi being surrounded by 30 PDP state lawmakers and National Assembly members; a plea he said Obi refused to heed, resulting in the crisis in APGA which Obi later ditched for the PDP, and from there to the Labour Party.

“Even at that, the then National Chairman of Labour Party, Dan Nwanyanwu complained about Obi refusing to allow the Labour Party conduct its activities in the state and refused the LP use of the Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka, yet today Obi is running under the Labour Party.
