Obi: There’ll be danger if everybody supports me

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, says politicians who were responsible for the various challenges bewildering the country were the ones not supporting his presidential ambition.

Obi, who debunked insuniations that some politicians in the South-East were not supporting him, said there would be danger if every Nigerian supports him ahead of the 2023 presidential election.

The LP presidential flag-bearer said this while speaking to newsmen after signing the condolence register of the late President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Prof. George Obiozor, at the National Secretariat of Ohanaeze in Enugu, the Enugu State capital on Thursday.

He said: “What is happening is that some people have different opinions, everybody should not support me and everybody will not support me. In fact, if everybody supports me, there is danger. Some will disagree.

“Some people have a structure that has brought us to this juncture where we produce 133 million people who are poor; where our primary health care has collapsed; where we have 20 million out-of-school children; where we have almost 40 per cent unemployment, with 60 per cent youth unemployment, and where we have the highest youth job prevent in the world.

“So, they will not support me but I urge all of us to remember that we need to build a new Nigeria. No Nigerian is against my candidacy but what we have is different opinions, which is highly allowed in a democratic dispensation.”

Obi, however, described Obiozor as a rare great and respected leader who had served humanity and the country in various capacities.
