Despite the overwhelming support of the nation’s youth, there is no way Mr. Peter Obi, the Labor Party’s presidential candidate, will prevail in the upcoming election in Nigeria.
According to PDP senatorial candidate for Delta North Prince Ned Nwoko, this is because the candidate lacks the organizational capabilities to win the election.
Nwoko asserted that “if Obi is to contest the election among Nigerians in diaspora, he will win” when speaking at the “Platform” of the Delta state council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists in Asaba.
The senatorial candidate lamented the extent of unrest in the southeast, saying it was a sign that the local youth weren’t prepared for the upcoming election.
The truth is that the typical Ibo guy doesn’t want to be a part of Nigeria; the young in the southeast are trying everything they can to prevent the election from happening; unidentified gunmen don’t want the election either; and Obi is reported to have a lot of support from the youth. Even though they are aware that the federal government will not grant them a referendum, they are still fighting for Biafra and begging for one.
Obi’s case is therefore ineligible because I already know he will lose.
Prince Nwoko emphasized the need for a cohesive team to rescue, rebuild, and reset Nigeria from the attack done to the country by the APC-led federal government while campaigning for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the election on February 25.
He claimed that the PDP valued cooperation in order to produce the desired outcome at the polls and then apply the same principles to effective government.
In order to give Delta North an effective representation that would benefit the residents of the zone, he pledged to draw on his legislative experience as a former member of the House of Representatives, representing the Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituency.
He urged the people of Anioma (Delta north) and all Nigerians to cast enormous numbers of PDP votes for candidates at all levels in order to put an end to the suffering in the nation.
Regarding accountability, Nwoko argued that people should cease blaming the government for running deficit budgets and argued that having debts was OK as long as the money was used wisely for development.
He continued by saying he did not support the idea of governments setting aside funds for their successors.
The NUJ in the state was praised by the international attorney for setting up a venue where candidates from different political parties can speak with journalists.
