‘You Cannot Take Peter Obi By His Words’ – Oshiomhole

Former Governor of Edo State, Adams Oshiomhole, has said the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, cannot be taken by his own words.

Naija News reports that Oshiomhole, in an interview with ‘Mic On Podcast’ on Sunday, pointed out that Peter Obi failed to keep his promise to stay put in the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).

The lawmaker claimed that Peter Obi lacks a reputation, citing his alleged inability to manage and resolve party crises.

According to Oshiomhole, Peter Obi does not want to go through the first stage of the election but always wants to go where food is ready.

He said, “Peter Obi has no reputation, you cannot take him by his words. First he said he was not going to leave APGA when Ojukwu handed the party to him and the party produced him as a governor.

“After that Obi joined a party because he wanted to be a vice president but he was defeated, in stead of staying back to strategize, Obi left and went to Labour Party because he doesn’t want to do primaries.

“Labour Party handed over the ticket to him, on a platter of gold. According to him, he got eight million votes. Common sense will prescribe that you manage that platform, invest in it and deal with all eternal challenges, but he wanted where food is ready and left the Labour Party.

“He wanted to ADC and they forcefully took over the leadership of the party but when they said there will be a primary election and because he doesn’t want to go through the first stage of election, he went to join NDC.”
