In a video, Emeka Ihedioha, a former Imo State Governor and former Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives, cautioned against supporting Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party. He labeled anyone working for Obi as a saboteur, advising his kinsmen of the potential “dangers” of voting for Obi in the general election.
Ihedioha emphasized that Igbos backing the Labour Party’s presidential candidate were risking their lives, as he stressed that there were only two recognized political parties in Nigeria – the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
“Nigeria is in search of leadership; we cannot stay away; I understand the ethics. It is either we get involved or we are not involved. There are two parties; the PDP and APC. Those who don’t know should know. APC is the name of criminals, rogues among other names. If you vote any other place, you are a saboteur.
He also predicted that the next president after Atiku Abubakar will come from the South East of Nigeria, emphasizing the need for a realistic approach and strategic planning to win elections.
