Nobody takes him seriously - Knocks for Peter Obi as he says Labour Party will win Nov 11 election

Reaction has trailed remarks by Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party for the February 25 presidential election following his recent campaign in Imo State.

Obi, who is currently in the state has promised that the party will take over the state in the November 11 governorship election.

Speaking in Owerri, the state capital, on Tuesday at the flag-off of the campaigns for the party in the state, Obi said that LP is known for performance and excellence.

Using Abia State, which his party controls, as an example of good governance, Obi said that the people of Abia State now have hope and are witnessing good governance because a “first-class brain” who knows what he is doing is now the governor of the state.

Obi said, “Abure is the national chairman of our party. We don’t have another chairman. LP will win Imo State. Athan Achonu is the only candidate of the party, and he is the best in Imo State. I am happy nobody has changed the process. I believe in the process.

“We want Nigeria to have leaders who will do what they preach. We know what it takes to change Nigeria. That is why we are here. We know what it takes to change Imo State. In Abia today, there is hope; that is what is called governance. This is because a first-class brain who knows what he is doing is the governor there.

“I believe in the process. Achonu emerged through the right process. Vote for LP, and things will start happening.”

The governor of Abia State, Alex Otti, said that he was the chairman of the panel that conducted the primary election that produced Achonu as the governorship candidate of the LP in the state.

His remarks have drawn some social media reactions.
