Ifeanyi Okowa, vice-presidential candidate of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), says Peter Obi cannot claim to be strange to the party.
Okowa said this on Sunday at a town hall meeting organised
for presidential candidates by Arise Television.
While reacting to criticisms of the PDP by Peter Obi,
presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Okowa said Obi had paid
glowing tributes to Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the PDP, in 2019
while he was his running mate.
“I’m aware that the PDP is very strong in the six
geo-political zones and strong in all states,” Okowa said.
“That’s a statement
of fact and we are busy campaigning to Nigerians based on our manifesto and the
credibility of the persons who are on the ticket of the party.
“Secondly, the last time I checked, in 2019, I’m sure Peter
Obi was the vice-presidential candidate to Atiku Abubakar and he paid a lot of
tributes to Atiku Abubakar and the last time I checked, up till May 24, 2022,
he was still an aspirant under the PDP.
“So, he cannot claim to be strange to the PDP or to the party. It is wrong to present that kind of situation to Nigerians and I think it is important to address issues the way they are.”
