Labour Party 2023 Presidential Candidate Peter Obi
By CHARLES IWUOHA
Presidential flag-bearer of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, on Tuesday stormed Enugu State, disassociating himself from a campaign application (app) created by an unknown group claiming to be out to garner support for him.
The app entitled “Peter Obi Nation” is also said not to be known by the Labour Party.
Peter Obi, who featured on Urban Radio Enugu political programme, stated that people will do everything possible to pull him down.
In his words, “I don’t know about the application. It is not from me or any campaign organization known to us. You know, people can do everything thing to pull me down.”
He further stated that opponents are now sponsoring ethnicity and campaign of bigotry to pull him down.
“I have said this before, let us bring all the presidential candidates, about 18 of us; let us look at our background and past records. But, people are not talking about what we can offer and they are now promoting ethnicity and tribalism,” he said.
Obi urged Nigerians to ignore all those promoting ethnicity, and look at qualification as well as past records of the presidential candidates and what they can offer.
