The spokesman for the Atiku Presidential Campaign Organisation, Dr Daniel Bwala, has slammed the Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi and his Obidient Movement, describing them as a “scam”.
Obidient Movement is a group canvassing for the emergence of Obi as the next president of Nigeria in the February 2023 presidential election.
Obi announced the suspension of his 2023 presidential campaign when he visited the Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom in Abuja on Wednesday.
His decision was birthed by the plight of citizens affected by the flood that has wreaked havoc in several places in the country for a few weeks.
Obi also called on presidential candidates of Peoples Democratic Party and the ruling All Progressives Congress, Atiku Abubakar and Bola Tinubu respectively to follow suit.
According to him, if the candidates can purchase their party’s expression of interest form for millions of Naira, they should be able to render help to the victims who lost their belongings during the flooding.
“I personally stopped and told my people no more campaign, until we are able to visit some of the sites, at least sympathise with those going through problems.
“I came to take permission and ask him (Ortom) that I want to visit some of the sites in Benue as I am going to do in one or two other states.
“I am also calling other presidential candidates to stop campaigning and see what we can do.
“If we can buy our forms for millions of naira, we should have some little thing to go, now that people are suffering, and at least show sympathy with them and then we can continue,” Obi had said.
