NKIRU NWAGBO, AWKA

Presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC),  Mr Peter Obi, has warned that the 2027 general elections is the last time and opportunity to unite Nigeria, noting that all hands must be on deck to change what he called the sad narrative of the nation.

This is coming as the member representing Awka North and South Federal Constituency, Prof Lilian Orogbu, raised fresh alarm over an alleged plot to use fake security operatives to manipulate the coming elections, stating that it would be resisted.

Peter Obi who was at the empowerment scheme convened by Orogbu in Awka Anambra state Capital lamented that NIgeria paints the picture of a meal spoilt by too much salt adding that he has been going about asking for the vote of Nigerians to guarantee the unity of the Country.

“Nigeria is like a meal spoilt by too much salt and a lot has collapsed in this country and wherever you go they tell you to be careful and don’t go there and when people get sick they have no hospitals to obtain treatment rather they go to church to pray because death is by the corner”

“We need leaders who are responsible, who have integrity and I challenge any of my contestants to come up for assessment and I can tell you that none of them is better than me”.

“And that is why I have been going about the country asking for the support of Nigerians so that we can restore our country and this is the last chance to unite Nigeria and I want to unite Nigeria and that is why I am in the race for Presidency.

Speaking also Hon Liliana Oby Orogbu warned that the masses would not tolerate any act by some desperate politicians to use thugs dressed in security uniform to manipulate the electoral process adding that the masses would resist such plots .

“We are awear of the plans of some people to manipulate the coming election and we learnt that they are going to use thugs dressed in security uniforms to rig the election but our people have become wiser and it would be resisted .

Also speaking Sen Victor Umeh carpeted those according to him who have been going about campaigning that people should not vote for Peter Obi contending that such persons are not in their right senses .

“When the campaign proper begins we shall come down to Anambra state and  the South East to campaign and we shall engage them and let us see why we should not support Peter Obi in the coming election ” he said.

State Chairman of the Nigeria Democratic Congress ( NDC) Hon Ikem Uzoezie described the trio of Obi , Umeh and Orogbu as most qualified for the positions that they are contesting for urging the Anambra electorates to vote massively for them  .

The highlight of the occasion was the distribution of refrigerators , power generators , sewing and grinding machines , motorcycles , buses and cars to members of Awka North and South Federal Constituency.
