The spokesperson for North, MiddleBelt and South Support Groups for Peter Obi (NMBSSG4O), Alex Obiechina, has asserted that the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar is being deceived by old-time politicians in the southeast region.
He said PDP chieftains in the southeast region are old-time politicians who are only giving Atiku false hope because of their own selfish interest in appointive positions or contracts.
Obiechina, as gathered by Naija News, made the assertion during a press conference in Abuja.
According to him, unlike the old folks campaigning for the PDP flag bearer in the region, his principal, Peter Obi, has youths and women who believe Nigeria needs urgent change campaigning for him. And for that reason, Atiku can not get any winning votes from the southeast.
Obiechina said contrary to projections in some quarters that next Saturday’s presidential poll will go into a run-off, Obi will scale through on the first ballot.
The Labour Party chieftain “Any politician from the Southeast, who is telling you that they are giving Atiku any vote, they are just deceiving Atiku. This is not 2019. Besides, Peter Obi’s personal charisma, his morality, past record and articulation of Nigeria’s problems and need to move from consumption to production, have galvanized Nigerians from all parts.
