The Governor of Abia State, Okezie Ikpeazu, has said the popularity of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi, will not, in any way, help sell the candidature of the LP governorship candidate in the state, Alex Otti.
He also said that the move by Otti and the LP in the state to capitalise on what has been described as the ‘Obi Political Tsunami’ to capture the Abia Government House would fail.
He further added that the ‘Obi phenomenon’ must not be narrowed down to the efforts of LP, stressing that doing so would diminish the enormous efforts put in by several angry Nigerians and first-time voters, who were not members of any political party but found a credible candidate in Obi, who they were willing to put allow to be the pilot of their new nation.
He, however, stated that it was now unfortunate that many people, who ordinarily would stand no chance of clinching any political position because of their bad character and poor relationship with the people, are hiding under Obi to bamboozle their way to power and calls for caution.
“In Abia, our people know that Obi is not Otti. They know that both of them represent different things altogether. Their records are there. He said.
