The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi,
has put to rest the speculation that he is working with the aggrieved governors
elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to win the 2023
presidential election.
Recall that Obi had severally met with Governors Samuel
Ortom of Benue State, Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu
State, Seyi Makinde of Oyo State who fell out with the party’s presidential
candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
The meetings had fueled speculations that the governors
would be working to deliver the former Anambra State Governor in the
forthcoming February election.
But speaking in Makurdi, the Benue State capital during a
visit to Governor Ortom on Tuesday, said he and the PDP governors have a common
interest in finding a better Nigeria.
“The only deal I have with them is that they are passionate
about Nigeria,” Obi said.
Obi lambasted the All Progressive Congress, APC government
for displaying a lack of leadership during the current economic crisis and
humanitarian issues rocking the nation.
Obi praised Ortom for confronting insecurity challenges in
Benue state at personal risk and comfort.
