Allegation aimed at denying Igbos Vice Presidency slot, says Spokesman
The allegation by the Northern Youths Leaders Forum (NYLF) that the Vice Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the 2019 elections, Peter Obi, is anti-North and a Major of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has been described as diversionary and “an attempt to give the dog a bad name in other to hang it.”

Dismissing the allegation in a statement issued on Wednesday, Obi’s Special Adviser, Valentine Obienyem, described it as “baseless and unfounded”.

“The alleged ‘crimes’ exist only in the imagination of those making the ridiculous allegation. Peter Obi is a liberal and patriotic Nigerian who has never at any time conducted himself in a manner to suggest that he is either anti any ethnic group or a sponsor of any secessionist group,” Obienyem said.

He noted: “Immediately the Presidential flag bearer of the PDP, His Excellency, Alhaji Abubakar Atiku, announced the choice of Peter Obi as his running mate, the joy was universal, hailing his preference as one of the best news coming out from our fatherland.

“All those that knew Obi very well for what he did in the past, both in his private business and governance of Anambra State and thereafter, wrote eulogies of him. Researchers went to work.

“After careful and painstaking analyses of his past, they submitted that he is humble, hardworking, knowledgeable about the economy, aware of the myriad of problems of the country, detribalised and possessed of centripetal notion about the unity of the country.

“Any person truthful to himself would agree that never in the history of Nigeria did naming of running mates elicited comparable reactions.”

Obienyem also pointed out, “Since leaving office, Obi has been busy visiting schools all over the country, from Cross River to Sokoto. Obi has been busy diagnosing the problems of the country and offering solutions.

Obi has been busy preaching the unity of the country and how good governance will solve the problems in Nigeria, caused by cumulative years of leadership failure that makes the protest under review suspicious and, in fact, an attempt to give the dog a bad name in other to hang it.”

Obienyem further described the unfounded allegation as diversionary, saying: “We do not need such a distraction now. What we need is joining of hands together as we collectively seek solutions to our problems.”

He noted that by advising Atiku to drop Obi and pick a running mate from the South-South, “the NYLF betrayed its real agenda, which is to deny Ndigbo the opportunity to produce Nigeria’s Vice President in 2019.”

He also said the sinister agenda has already failed and urged Nigerians “to continue to give their full support to the Atiku Abubakar/Peter Obi ticket, the only real hope available to Nigerians in the 2019 presidential elections.”

He assured Obi’s fans and supporters that the former Anambra State Governor would continue to live an exemplary life and would never engage in any conduct capable of bringing shame to himself or all those who believe in him and hold him in high esteem.

So why did he request northerners carry ID Cards?

Why did he demolish mosques and relocate northerners from their markets?

Atikulooted/Obituary go hear am in 2019.

Dem go think say na trailer jam them.

The smear campaigns have shifted from Atiku to Obi, but they will all fail.

The more they talk about Obi, the more Igbos become interested in voting.

I like this

APC and baby politics, when it became obvious "Atiku is a thief" jab won't fly with Nigerians, they had to shift to "Obi hates Hausa's", trying to feast on their imaginary perceived hatred between the Hausa's and Igbo's, in turn painting Obi as a Tribalist.

Yet the forget that the worst tribalist, fanatic, religious bigot and Jihadist ever know to mankind is their dullard, and that's why Nigerians can't wait to Obidiently Atikulate.

Obituary should denounce the jobless aggressive lazy idiotic pigs of bia-fra terrorist publicly, by calling them terrorist as court has prescribed them to be terrorist.
He has be sympathetic to them and the jobless aggressive lazy idiotic pigs of bia-fra terrorist love him for that.

APC!!!!!! Hehehehehe......these guys amazes me everyday.

Its there already. 90% of Northerners will not vote Atiku for the following reasons.

1. Atiku is percieved in the North as a thief "barawo".
2. The Northerners love Buhari with passion.
3. They see Peter Obi as a tribalist who demanded that notherners wear ID cards in Anambra, and closed their shops.

All Northerners know this, and you know what that means.

Same way PDP painted PMB in the south as a jihadist, Islamist, Northernization agent, Bigot and lover of the north. PDP should not cry foul, they are served the dose of their own medicine.

You need to travel to the north to enlighten them about the truth. Most people in the north already have this information. Atiku will lose heavily in the north

raker300:
has Buhari denounced the Fulani herdsmen?

buhari has denounce all criminal activities, ranging from arm robbers,kidnappers, terrorist like Boko Haram, herdsmen bandit, militias and the jobless aggressive lazy idiotic pigs of bia-fra terrorists.
But thief atiku has not also denounce Fulani and the jobless aggressive lazy idiotic pigs of bia-fra terrorist.
