A 180-member caucus of former National Assembly lawmakers from the South East region has insisted that the former governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, was the best choice as the running mate to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.



A former member of the House of Representatives and spokesman of the caucus State, Ogbuefi Ozomgbachi, made the ex-lawmakers’ position known when he briefed newsmen in Abuja, on Tuesday.

He also lauded the former Vice President’s foresight in choosing Obi as his running mate.

The 180-member caucus noted with dismay the “needless and unhealthy controversies so far generated by Obi’s nomination,” which “must be nipped in the bud to stop further embarrassment.”

It, however, added that the greatest challenge facing Nigeria remains “the removal of the current retrogressive All Progressives Congress (APC) led government and the enthronement of an inclusive government committed to good governance, federal character and restructuring, which Atiku/Obi ticket represents.”

“We commend the vision and foresight of Atiku Abubakar in choosing former Anambra Governor, Peter Obi as his running mate in the 2019 presidential election.

“Our son, Peter Obi, is a befitting and worthy partner of the ticket because of his track record of performance, financial discipline and prudent management of resources.

“The entire Igbo nation at home and in the Diaspora are excited and have resolved to support and vote for Atiku/Obi massively in the 2019 polls.

“We call on Nigerians and the international community to give their support to Atiku/Obi ticket for the great prospect for Nigeria, Africa and the world.

“We therefore, plead with our brothers and sisters who may have reacted negatively to the choice of Obi to sheathe their swords and throw their weights behind the ticket in the herculean task of removing this clueless APC led government,” the caucus noted

No hand can cover the moon.


Sir peter obi carry on!

Obi we know meanwhile people should just stop this man a Christian. Obi is Olumba Olumba cultist. He is even married to their gods daughter

Atiku, Fulani dada ni. Sai Buhari!

Nnamdi Kanu once claimed Boko Haram was founded by Buhari, IBB and ATIKU.

OBI is the best choice, easy victory for our party APC. Only thieves and useless other people I won't mention belong to the PDP.

He is the best now let’s end that issue already

Osinbajo is a theoretical genius, Obi is a practical genius. Enough of the theories and dreams, let's do reality, let's do Obi, lets OBIdiently Atikulate

2019 loading ....

Forget this talk. All what these useless leaders want is for Atiku to give them dollars. They know they can't get shingba from the stingy Pitobi

One one ghanan must go for all of una there...lol

y

If you don't campaign for atiku/obi combination, you be zombie. True patriots should know what's better for the country.

they just sacrifice Biafra just for VP slot to Fulani Muslim

Peter Obi is better than Buhari

Nairaland is inhabited by maize of uninformed or misinformed citizen aside the aggrieved population of the segregationists whose motion is now confused by a deluding offer of vice presidency


In the snake length criminal years of PDP dining in corruption and disbursing public fund to individuals like a wedding menu...some people are here again calling for backwardness... Buhari till 2023 and beyond due to his legacy

we couldnt really know what the best choice would be

but as soon as we heard ATIKU AND OBI

it appeared as though it was exactly what we wanted

whoelse feels this way?

I hope Nnamdi KANU won't be disappointed in his grave with Igbo with their kindergarten debate on VP slot of an hopeless party that won't near winning of 2019 poll



I wonder what he would have called Igbo if he was alive aside from pigs he earlier tagged them



a disgrace to people on secession course in different countries

Igbo's and greedy are like dick and pussy.
They can never be satisfied.
Despite the most beneficiaries of the N-power, they still want to betray PMB.

Any igbo man against Peter Obi's candidacy, amadioha gbukwaa yaa oooo.

Not everyone believes God exists and Heaven has not fallen while you are here expecting everyone to support Atiku/Obi, that is very irrational of you!

You say N-power? And buhari’s daughter was recently appointed into NNPC board.

People like you are the reason Noah allowed more animals into his ark than humans.

Atiku & Obi we know but Buhari & Oshibajo we know know.. He who know no go know.
