Why Nigerians Must Reject Presidency By Proxy – Peter Obi

The Obi-Datti Media Campaign office has issued a warning to Nigerians advising them to be aware of anyone seeking to employ proxies to manage the affairs of the nation.

In response to a challenge put up by Festus Keyamo, SAN, the minister of state for labor, the campaign office issued this statement in support of Mr. Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate. Keyamo asked Obi’s son to organize an effective campaign rally in his home state of Anambra, much like Seyi Tinubu, the APC flag bearer’s son, did for his father in Lagos.

According to the report, Keyamo was unable to tell the two sons from their fathers apart.

The Obi-Datti Media campaign Office issued a statement on this subject on Tuesday in Abuja, which was given to THEEAGLE.

It read in part, “The only thing that joins Obi and Tinubu is that they were once governors of states in Nigeria.

“This assertion is verifiable for Keyamo and his other hirelings.

“If Keyamo had taken time to study the family he speaks for very well he would have avoided this comparison that is bound to expose the life of his Principal and understand why the entire household is headlong in the campaign.

“It further said, “The other time Tinubu’s wife, Senator Remi was threatening fire and brimstone over Lagos, then the daughter and now the son is showing off with rally.

“Do you blame a people struggling to keep a family business?

“Obi’s family is not part of his politcs, they are running their lives, contributing to development without  nearing public funds.

“Obi-Datti Media office also noticed that Tinubu’s wife and some First Ladies took government airplane to campaign spots because they can hardly exist without government patronage.

“The LP Candidate, Peter Obi is the man seeking the mandate of the Nigerian people to serve them as President not any other member of his family. He has said it repeatedly that Nigerians must reject anybody desiring to be President by proxy.

“We therefore join our candidate to demand that candidates, not their wives , sons or daughters are seeking for the peoples votes and they should be scrutinized by the people.

“It’s dangerous and discomforting when we cannot differentiate public funds from family and private funds and a serving Minister of the Republic is defending and celebrating it.

“But that is exactly what Nigerian youths through the Obidient Movement are out to halt through their take back Nigeria mantra.”
