2023 Elections: PDP governor’s ex-aide declares support for Peter Obi

Ahead of the 2023 elections, Jack Obinyan, a former special adviser to Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo state on new media, has declared support for Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP).

In a thread of tweets sighted by Legit.ng, Obinyan expressed regret for prejudging Obi before “taking his time” to study his competence and commitment.

He retracted all the negative things he had said about the LP presidential flagbearer in the past.

“I must confess that I truly regret prejudging a man that I didn't take time to study his Character, Competence, Capability & Commitment to deliver as proven by available records. Now I know the REAL @PeterObi, and I retract all of the negative things I said about him in the past,” Obinyan stated.

The former aide of Governor Obaseki, a PDP chieftain, also vowed not to withdraw his support for Obi in the forthcoming 2023 elections.

He said: “There's no going back on my decision to be #OBIdient and #YUSful to Nigeria my beloved Country. We must get it right in 2023, we cannot afford to have Presidents in absentia. Dubai, London and Paris Landlords must be vehemently rejected at the polls with our God given PVCs!”
