| Ned Nwoko & Peter Obi. |
Delta North Senatorial candidate of the People’s Democratic Party and former member of the House of Representatives, Ned Nwoko, has shared his thoughts about former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi’s participation in the forthcoming presidential election as a candidate on the platform of the Labour Party of Nigeria.
Ned
Nwoko acknowledged the fact that Peter Obi is was not like other Governors he
has met in the past as he’s quite frugal and a big-time capitalist, stating in
an interview with the BBC Igbo, where he opined that he would prefer Peter Obi
to come back to the Peoples Democratic Party as he will do well as a Minister
of Economy and will also help the economy bounce back.
The
Delta-born politician further averred that though Peter Obi is popular and
might have a support base, he doesn’t have the structure to function as he
would need the majority in either house of reps or senate, state house of
assemblies, and government.
He
also said that all of these might take at least 8 years to be achieved, stating
further that there are many things that would work against the emergence of
Peter Obi as President of Nigeria and “it would never happen”.
Nwoko
also said that Ndigbo are not ready for the presidency as that would have shown
during the primaries. He also wondered why delegates never supported Igbo
candidates but went for candidates from other regions.
According
to him, Igbos are largely selfish and do not think about others, and, I do not
subscribe to zoning, but believes in merit.
