Peter Obi Among Politicians That Crippled Nigeria, Says…

Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party is obviously the political rave of the moment, but is he among politicians that crippled Nigeria?

Well, that is the contention of another presidential contender, Omoyele Sowore, who is the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC).

Sowore added that Peter Obi is not the change that Nigerians need.

Sowore made his submission today while speaking on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’.

Rather than being the answer that Nigerians need, Obi, Sowore added was part of the old system of politicians that had crippled the nation’s fortunes.

“Peter Obi is part of the old system that I’ve always fought against. I understand where he is coming from. This is 1999 repeating itself – Nigerians want change, some young people are genuinely interested in change to a different direction, and then they are presented with somebody who worked for the establishment; somebody who has been in the People’s Democratic Party, the All Progressives Grand Alliance, came back to the PDP, and now in the Labour Party. We can be emotional about it but that’s the truth.

Sowore also waved off assertions that Obi had become a threat to all others in the race including himself.

In his words: “I don’t see Peter Obi as a threat. He’s not new to the rotten system. Somebody who was Anambra governor for eight years . He didn’t build any schools, he didn’t build any industry, he didn’t build a power station. He’s not my kind of progressive.”

Making reference to his run thus far in the political circus of the country, Sowore said:

“I was the only candidate who participated in 2019 that did not stop campaigning or advocating. I engaged, immediately after that election, in a number of revolutionary activities that took me to jail, and I have been doing this for about 32 years now.”

The Eagle reports that Omoyele Sowore was the man behind the #RevolutionNow movement through which he had been charged for treasonable offences.
