Obi has no political garbage - Coalition tell Nigerians who to vote for

A coalition of Obidient groups has urged Nigerians to vote for Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party.

Mr Marcel Ngobgehei, Head of Strategy and Operations, Obidient Global March, made the call on Saturday during a rally in Abuja as he noted that the former Anambra governor is the only candidate without baggage.

Ngobgehei stressed that the political space in Nigeria has been characterised with “moneybags” and godfatherism politics, one time Obi isn't part of.

He, however, said that the 2023 General Elections had presented Nigerians with the opportunity to change the narrative of politics in the nation.

He said that the Obidient Movement started from the idea of rescuing Nigeria by ensuring that credible leaders came into power.

“So at the inception, the obedient movement came together and said it was enough, Nigeria has to move ahead the way other civilised countries are moving.

“We deployed some strategies and identified a candidate different from what we have in the political space of the country where we have money bags.

“This is because we don’t want our candidate to carry baggage because when people sponsor your candidate, then it becomes baggage.

“When he gets into office they will want to influence him to say ‘remember we put you there’, but Peter Obi has no political baggage, nobody can say he is the one that brought him this far .”
