A group, Diasporans for Good Governance, (DGG), has chided the oil magnet, Prince Arthur Eze for asking the presidential candidate of the Labor Party, LP, Mr. Peter Obi to perish his ambition, insisting that the LP candidate won’t step down from the race.
Prince Arthur Eze was reported to have told traditional rulers and women groups in his Ukpo country home on Christmas eve, that Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo is the expected Nigerian president of Igbo extraction, not Obi.
The group’s leaders, Sir Johnny Obika, Dr. Ben Opara, Barr. Franklin Nwakor, Mike Okaka, and Amb. Camillus Konkwo, said in a statement yesterday that the billionaire businessman had no moral justification for asking Peter Obi to drop out of the race and that his candidacy represented the new standard for competence, capacity, integrity, and political decency.
They contend that Arthur Eze stands for the previous regime that had ruled Nigeria.
“As a private citizen, Eze is entitled to his choice of candidate,” reads their statement. However, he lacks any moral justification for requesting that Peter Obi drop out of the election.
“We knew that those who profit from Nigeria’s broken rentier system would battle hard to maintain the current quo when Peter Obi started talking about moving Nigeria from consumption to production.
Peter Obi, who stands for the new order and the light that will lead people out of darkness, is drawing large crowds.
“It makes sense that some people would bemoan the rule of light. It is clear that Arthur Eze is a member of the political cabal based on his persistent support for the PDP and APC.
His most recent attack on Obi is merely an effort to maintain their grip over Nigeria, which they have transformed into the world’s most impoverished nation.
It asked Nigerians to vote for Peter Obi of the Labour Party regardless of party affiliation if they wanted to free themselves from the chains that had shackled them for a very long time. According to Vanguard.
Additionally, it urged Nigerians living abroad to reject the “political merchants of neo-imperialism, dehumanization, and mass poverty.”
