The coalition for good governance, a non-governmental
organisation, has endorsed Peter Obi, the standard bearer of the Labour Party
(LP).
Okey Chukwendu, national coordinator of the coalition which
comprises former national chairmen of political parties and former presidential
candidates, announced the development in a statement on Monday.
Chukwendu said Peter Obi and Datti Baba-Ahmed, his running
mate, “are the most credible, capable, and qualified candidates among the
contestants vying for the seat of the president in the forthcoming election”.
“The Coalition for Good Governance as a body of
Professionals in the political terrain wishes to advise Nigerians to reject
those who peddle unnecessary blackmail on the candidacy of Mr Peter Obi,” the
statement reads.
“Mr Peter Obi is a
nationalist, and a true Nigerian. He is decent, humble, credible, capable,
competent, and compassionate in character. Mr Peter Obi as Governor of Anambra
State rejected billions of Naira and houses as compensation from Anambra State
Government.
“It is on record that Mr Peter Obi left over 90billion Naira
in the state coffers at the end of his tenure, a record that has been unmatched
by any governor in Nigeria. We are all aware of contestants whose fraudulent
activities, Godfatherism and drug-related records are unacceptable for the new
Nigerian that we desire.
“Their shamelessness has led to their desire to still
contest and test our gullibility with their illegally acquired wealth which
Nigerians must resist.
“As Nigerians and
politicians that we are, we will not sit on the fence to watch another
subversion of our resources to individuals and their cronies which is the
antecedents of some of the contestants now desperate for the Presidency.
“Fellow Nigerians, because we are not in the payroll of
anyone, we are responsible for what we say today, we therefore urge you all to
reject thieves and dictators in sheep cloths, reject drug barons and those who
have no respect for our diversity and secularism and vote for Mr Peter Gregory
Obi and Datti Baba-Ahmed of the Labour Party so that together our Nation can
rise from consistent economic failure to economic surplus and together, a new
Nation bound in freedom and surplus is born.”
