Isa Brimah, a Nigerian medical doctor who lives in the
United States says candidates of opposition parties are afraid of Peter Obi,
presidential candidate of Labour Party (LP).
Brimah said this during an interview with Rudolf Okonkwo,
host of 90Minutes Africa.
The medical practitioner, who identified himself as a Yoruba
native from Kwara state with Fulani ancestry, alleged that some politicians may
resort to using religion, ethnicity and insecurity to prevent the LP
presidential candidate from winning the 2023 election.
“Once they start to manipulate and play the religious and
ethnic cards, I’m afraid what follows will be a resort to terrorism,” Brimah
said.
“We have travelled
this road many times before. They are attacking Obi because they know he is the
front-runner, and that scares them.
“Obi’s campaign message is ‘take back your country’.
Everywhere he goes, whether a church, school, or mosque, the message he
preaches is ‘take back your country’.
“But his detractors have gotten so desperate that they are
cutting clips and manipulating it. Nigerians should beware because after the
manipulation fails, they may become more desperate and resort to terror tactics
and start threatening people that if you continue this movement, we will kill
you.
“I think it’s looking
very good for Obi right now. If half of Nigerians are Christians, they should
vote for him; non-fanatical Muslims will vote for him; people who just want
change will vote for him; people who are tired of being killed by APC and PDP,
that are tired of terrorism would vote for him; people who believe in fairness
and equity that it should be the turn of the Igbo would vote for him.
“So, we have many classes of people that will vote for the
Obi-Datti ticket.”
