Former Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives, Emeka Ihedioha, has cautioned his supporters and stakeholders against supporting Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, describing anyone working for the Labour Party Peter Obi as a saboteur.
The former Imo governor said this in a video making rounds the social media on Tuesday. He warned his kinsmen about the "dangers" of voting for Peter Obi in 2023 presidential election.
In the video, the Supreme-sacked governor was overheard telling his people that Igbos projecting and campaigning Peter Obi were chasing shadows because, according to him, there are only two recognized political parties in Nshadow — the PDP and APC, while describing APC as criminals and rogues.
Ihedioha said: "Nigeria is in search for leadership; we cannot stay away; I understand the ethics, It is either we get involved or we are not involved. There are two parties; the PDP and APC. Those who don't know should know. APC is the name of criminals, rogues among other names. If you vote any other place, you are a saboteur.
"After Atiku Abubakar the next president will come from South East of Nigeria. That is the gospel in Accra (Ghana) if you somebody tells you any another thing; that person must win in Zamfara, Sokoto, Kebbi, Borno, Yobe, Adamawa, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Niger, Kwara, Plateau Benue, Jigawa, and among other Northern states before you can be a president of Nigeria. Emotions and sentiment don't win elections; you must be realistic to win elections. You must plan to win elections and that is where I belong."
