Chairman of the South East Senate Caucus, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, has described former Governor of Abaribe State, Mr Peter Obi, as an embodiment of discipline and positive attributes in good governance.

Abaribe in a statement released in Abuja, hailed the choice of Obi as the vice presidential running mate to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), saying that the party with this pick has ultimately wrapped up victory in the 2019 general elections.

“Mr Obi’s widely acknowledged good track record in infrastructural development and economic reforms as governor of Anambra State, remains an eloquent testimony of what service delivery and good governance is all about

“The ticket of the duo of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and Mr Obi represents the finest choice available and one that reflects the high pitch push by Nigerians for total economic and political reforms.

“The present hopeless situation of fear, despondency and hunger in the land, which is occasioned by a seemingly rudderless and clueless government requires experienced and steady hands in the saddle. Of course, the Atiku/Obi ticket presents that radical choice capable of pulling the country out of her present horrendous predicament,” he said.

Abaribe who congratulated Obi also thanked Alhaji Atiku Abubakar for being meticulous in the pick and for looking the way of one of the best from South East and Nigeria as a whole.

The lawmaker urged Nigerians to rally behind the PDP and Atiku/Obi in the march towards restoring Nigeria to the part of unity and progress again.
