The quick past part who addressed Ukwa East and Ukwa West Government Voting demographic, Hon Uzoma Nkem Abonta, under the foundation of the People groups Progressive alliance (PDP), has been suspended from the party. This was spread the word for newsmen in Akwete today, Wednesday 28, in a proclamation by the PDP Ward Director and Secretary of the party in Akwete-Ohandu Ward. A portion of the reasons they claimed include: hostile to party exercises, factionalization of the party in the ward, proudly exposing the party to a few court suits with no response to the PDP inside system of resolving clashes and debates, his arrangement as the Representative Chief General of the All Reformists Fantastic Collusion (APGA) in the 2023 general political race and his public acknowledgment of the said arrangement, his refusal to surrender the bike given to the Ward Director by Congressperson Enyinnaya Abaribe, his conspicuous refusal to pay the party duty for quite a while at this point, and his open

Nobody Can Threaten Me Over My Preferred Candidate – Obasanjo Says Of His Support For Peter Obi

-


Former President of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo has said nobody can threaten him over his choice of a presidential candidate.

He said this at Ohanaeze Ndigbo National Secretariat in Enugu, Enugu State,when he  and leader of the apex Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, Pa Ayo Adebanjo, signed a condolence register opened for First Republic Minister of Aviation, Chief Mbazulike Amaechi. 

Obasanjo, who has been publicly showing his support for the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, said, "I have shed my blood for this country. I have gone to prison for this country. So, what are you going to frighten or threaten me with? The only thing that my senior brother (Adebanjo) hasn't done is that he hasn't shed his blood but he has gone to prison but we will leave that aside."

Describing the problem of Nigeria as more of national than ethnic, former president, reiterated his avowed commitment to enthroning a new Nigeria, stating that the country did not just need a president at this critical time, but yearning for a leader with character.

"The problem we have in our hands in Nigeria is not ethnic. It is national. And for me, the most important thing in a leader is character. The problem we have had is that we have not had a leader with the right type of character that they should be trusted with the leadership role.

"So, if I put my hand on someone, it means that comparing with the other, I see that there is merit that will be of benefit to Nigeria. And I believe that Chief Adebanjo stands for the same thing," he stated.

Obasanjo while signing the condolence register described Mbazulike as an authentic Nigerian patriot and the last of the titans, while Adebanjo said he was a true Nigerian who fought from youth for a country where equity, justice and fairness reigned.

They regretted that foremost nationalist was not able to witness the new Nigeria that he laboured for decades.

The former governor of Anambra State and Presidential candidate of Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi, was also around to sign the register.

The elder statesman died November 1, this year at 93.
