The immediate-past Senate Minority Leader and the Senator representing Abia South, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, has said that irrespective of ones political affiliation, it will be difficult to campaign against the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi.

According to Senator Abaribe who recently dumped Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and defected to the All Progressive Grand Alliance, APGA, said that the antecedents and swelling followership of the former Anambra State Governor had made his candidature the choice of many Nigerians.

He said that the emergence of Obi had re-awakened the interest of many Nigerians in the political process.

Senator Abaribe who spoke Thursday night at the inaugural Ikengaonline town-hall virtual meeting, said Obi’s phenomenon had brought huge revolution in the country’s electoral system.

He explained that a lot of youths and Nigerians from across the different geo-political zones who had lost interest in the political system had suddenly developed interest in the 2023 elections.

Abaribe observed that Obi was frustrated out of the PDP, just like himself but noted with delight that progressive Nigerians who want a new and better country are now rallying support for him.

” There is no gainsaying the fact that Obi has galvanized interests of people not just in Igbo land but across other ge-opolitical zones. He has revolutionarised the system. People are now saying let’s now go and vote.

“People who had lost interest before are now showing interest in voting.

” Though I’m in a different party, the truth is that it will be difficult for me to say: Don’t vote for Obi. In fact, some parties have already adopted him. They tell people: For President, vote for Obi, and then for other positions vote our party.”

He said that the political cabal in the country never envisaged the eruption of Obi phenomenon, but added that the movement is massive and exponential.

” People are fed up with the old system and they want a breath of fresh air.
They have seen Obi as somebody that will bring the fresh air and that is why they are rallying behind him.

“If he wins it will bring a paradigm shift to the system.”

Abaribe who is the APGA candidate for the Abia South senatotrial contest in 2023, also noted that the introduction of new technology by the electoral umpire, had also helped to boost people’s confidence in the electoral system.

” People at a time lost interest but the INEC introduction of new technology has rekindled people’s hope and confidence that their votes will count.”

Abaribe or umaho would have been Atiku running mate if they had stayed in pdp

They'd still have lost. See I live amongst Igbo people. They don't do cult followership. Only maybe MNK broke that jinx but politically, no one can claim godfather.

That Peter Obi can command the respect and followership he does in the SE and Nigeria as a whole, is testament he deserves it. Igbo people when no dey rate many of their politicians? Even beat up one of their senators abroad!

Game master in drug dealing I guess? I'm sure Tinubu will make himself president of agbado and cassava republic next year.

No sane persons will vote for APC after unleashing this hardship on Nigerians. What are there going to campaign with in the first place?
It has never been this bad.

Maybe you are referring to video games.

Game master that was beaten blue black in Edo and Osun. That’s just testing the mic ahead of 2023 elections.

Others are still in self-denial

Game masters have an expiring date

Ask Jay Jay Okocho

Papilo and Samuel a'eto they were play makers in their prime time.

But where are they now

]Forget your vote, tinubu is a game master[

Game master at 86 is supposed to be planning his visit to his ancestors at the other end and see how they do.
It's youth o'clock

Peter obi is now a religion and movement that can't be stopped.. I pity who wants to stand in the way of a corrosive hurricane that has birthed on the shores of the Niger.. I dare say Aso rock is already obidient and will receive obi as it's next C in C in 2023.. E go shock all forces of darkness and political scavengers

I won't vote obi

Tinubu is my man

Don't mind them

The fear is that Obi and Atiku will split the votes of reasonable Nigerians. I hope the number of Zombies do not get higher than any of these.
