“This Obasanjo”s open endorsement has knocked out the gang of looters in the system and their enraged responses to the Obasanjo’s endorsement of Peter Obi, brought to light those who are the enemies and problems of Nigeria and they are fighting back to make sure that the status quo of looting and corruption continues with the next government.
“Politicians who were unsettled and reacted angrily to Former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s endorsement of Labour Party Presidential Candidate Peter Obi are those who fought hard to get the nod of Obasanjo for 2023, but the unexpected open letter unmasked their notorious ambitions and desires to sell off what is remaining of Nigeria.
“Nigerians should shun all these politicians and their Presidential candidates, they don’t mean well for Nigeria.
The Ohanaeze, therefore, urged Nigerians to explore the opportunity provided by INEC to collect their PVCs from 6th to 22nd January 2023, adding that all endorsements of Mr. Peter Obi are meaningful when Nigerians respond to the collection of PVCs positively.
“The adversaries of Obasanjo will succeed in their devilish agendas when Nigerians refuse to pick up their uncollected PVCs”.
