The Special Adviser to Governor Willie Obiano on Political Matters, Barr Ifeatu Obi-Okoye has said that the Anambra Governor refused to congratulate his predecessor, Mr Peter Obi over his emergence as the vice presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, because there was nothing to celebrate about it.

Obi had received a barrage of congratulatory messages upon the announcement of his nomination by the presidential candidate of the PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, and many expected that Obiano, his successor, would have done same.

The media aide to Obiano, Mr James Eze, rather disowned a Facebook page, which claimed to be Obiano’s, and had a congratulatory message to the former governor.

But explaining the reason for the refusal of Obiano to do so, Obi-Okoye said there was nothing to be euphoric about a mere pick as a vice presidential candidate.

He argued that Obi was not yet a vice president, while also adding that APGA as a party also has its own presidential and vice presidential candidates, who the PDP’s cannot claim to be better than.

When the presidential candidate of the PDP in next year’s general elections nominated Obi as his running mate, jubilation erupted across the state, but without any comment from the state government.

Obi-Okoye said, “Let’s get something clear; I don’t think Peter’s nomination as VP candidate calls for any congratulatory message. If he becomes the vice president, we will congratulate him.

“We (APGA) are running for the presidential election against PDP and we fielded a candidate who we believe can win the the PDP candidate, so we have no reason to celebrate Obi. Otherwise, we are saying we have already acknowledged that they will defeat us.

“But I want to say as you have mentioned that as someone who is from here, and who was in APGA, that if by any chance Obi becomes a VP, we will congratulate him. For now, we are in the trench, planning how we can win the election for APGA.

“You may not believe that we have chances, so also would you not have believed that a footballer would become the president of Liberia, or would you not have believed that the current president of Ghana would have defeated an incumbent.”

Obi-Okoye contended that there would be surprises in the 2019 polls, saying that nobody should rule out the chances APGA in the race.

“There are so many factors that will play out in 2019, the ethnic factor, security factor, the lack of governance, the inability of politicians to keep faith with the people. What we should all watch out for is that the election is not rigged.”

Nigeria really needs APGA not PDP or APC

This is Bad Politics

He should at least congratulate him for saving for Anambra, and enabling him have a smooth start off. It's because of his savings that he could pay salaries in recession.

We Igbos should listen to our northern counterparts by voting Buhari come 2019 for Igbo presidency that will follow.
Moreover, Buhari is a credible candidate and has done more than PDP's 16 years of looting and misrule.

Obiano is becoming too arrogant to my disliking, despite all he did to obi who brought him to the public obi remains calm.

During the last guber campaign Peter Obi claimed Obiano has squandered ALL his savings, guess what, Obiano is srill paying salaries and promoting civil servants so which other money are you talking about?

Meaning that obiano moved the money into another account for future use.

Obiano is an IPOB member.

Why is it mandatory for Obiano to congratulate Obi, are they in the same party? Are they business associates or friends? Or is it because they are both Ibo? Tribal politics I would say, and it's bad for the polity.

That's because his predecessor left money for him. If he left debt like others, he would be among those who can't pay.

Obiano admitted to have sold some dollars obi left during the debate.

See how there are trying to spin it?
Peter Obi during the campaign claimed Obiano squandered all his “savings” and that was why he wanted to remove him. Which part of this statement don’t you understand?

Are you dumb? Obiano said he inherited 128 billion in debt from Obi which he’s still servicing to this day.
Of course Obiano couldn’t have met an empty treasury. Ngige left money for Obi too!

I don't believe in hear say. After all obiano promised ifeanyi ubah automatic ticket, did he deliver?

Obi published documents of what he left for obiano and obiano signed off. If obi left debt, let obiano publish and stop telling us in the media. They are both bankers, so obiano should know the importance of documentation.

So you want me to believe Obi left money for Obiano with Microsoft word documents but you don’t want to believe Obi left 128 billion debt according to Obiano even with a detailed breakdown of the debt? Are you not funny!

Everyone knows who is a liar between Obi and Obiano. Everyone knows Obi as a liar, from lying about one wrist watch for 17 years, one shoe, one house in onitsha to lying about leaving money for his successor

Igbos are always a problem to themselves. They will never speak with one voice.They dont seem learn lessons at all.

Obiano signed that Microsoft word document before the press. The important thing in a document is the signature. Both obi and obiano had their signature on it.

Let obiano produce a document of the debt with his signature attached. That's what bankers do. That's why we request for documented bank statement and not word of mouth.

It's funny that you call obi a liar, are the banks he left the monies liars too?

Obi attracted Sabmiller, built roads, was the first to patronize innoson motors, used local carpenters to furnish the government lodge.

All these claims have witnesses.

Obiano said we export ugu and today the ugu farm is no where to be found.

Attracted over $8 billion foreign investment, we can't point to 1.

Let's the pictures of the $2 billion airport project.

Who is the liar here?

All the billions Peter Obi left, this Obiano used everything to buy bleaching cream. Ojukwu' s manhood won't forgive you for disrespecting Biafra first lady, Bianca

Obiano should go and sit down!

Nonsense

Truer words have never been spoken......

A-ti- ku (una don die!)

after then.....

Presidential and VP candidate are both Christians and you think, they can poll up to 200k votes?

Why should he congratulate a candidate from another party on his selection not even nomination?

Bitterness is truly in the blood of these flatnoids later they'll blame yoruba people for their misfortunes in life, most especially the dumb ones on nairaland..Atiku should just give VP to the Niger delta like they did jonathan so we can hear word even though he'll still lose.

Politics sef.
