A yet to be identified kid was pictureed watching as the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Mr. Peter Obi, replied the former Governor of Kano State, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso on his insistence that the Labour Party flagbearer who approached him for a possible alliance should be his running mate on New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP).
Kwankwaso, who turned down the offer on a live television, insisted that the North will not vote for Peter Obi because he is an Igbo.
Asked how he would respond to the comment made by Rabiu Kwakwanso that the north will not vote for an Igbo man in 2023, Mr. Peter Obi said, “The comment by the elder brother Kwankwaso is the reason why we have 100 million Nigerians living in poverty, 18 million Nigerian children out of school and about 52% of Nigerians either unemployed or under employed, because rather than vote for competent leaders, we will rather vote for incompetence due to a primitive belief of religion and ethnicity.
“Tell me, today you can’t travel from abuja to kaduna by road or rail, is it because someone from the south east is in charge?
“You can’t travel to Minna by road, is because someone from the south east is in charge?”, Mr. Peter Obi queried.
He went on to say, “Yesterday we had an attack by bandits on the presidential convoy, in Katsina, is it because someone from the south east is in charge?
“Show me where people are prospering in the north or south?”, he further querried.
He explained that “What we have consistently done in this country is to hire vehicle drivers to fly airplanes as pilots instead of hiring qualified pilots.
“We have a huge problem and if you don’t know, this country will soon default on their debt servicing, schools are shut down, insecurity is everywhere, Nigeria is in a coma and when you are in a coma all you want is to survive, irrespective of where the surgeon who will keep you alive comes from”, he concluded.
He however confirmed that he was in touch with other northern citizens who are being considered for the Vice presidential candidate slot, including Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, a one time Senator and founder of Baze University Abuja and Baba-Ahmed University Kano.
“Baze University Hospital is rated as the biggest private hospital in Africa”, the statement concluded.
