Governor Ifeanyi Okowa has said that the Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, lacks requisite experience to lead Nigeria or be a President at this critical time.
Okowa shared this thought during an interview with BBC Pidgin also advised Nigerian youths not to allow themselves to be deceived but to vote wisely in 2023.
The People's Democratic Party (PDP) Vice Presidential candidate added that Obi who was in All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), moved to PDP and later switched tent to join LP, is without deep knowledge of PDP or experience to lead Nigeria.
He said; “I did not say he won’t have any votes, he will have. But what I’m saying is that …it has not been long since he left PDP. You know he was in APGA before, from APGA he came to PDP. It hasn’t been long since he left (PDP) so he cannot say anything about PDP because that’s where he was before.
“Some of us are still here. At every party, there are good people and bad people. But today’s Nigeria is very troubled and we need the right person. That is why I am appealing to our youths to be wise and vote well, they should not be blinded by the concept of a false change because that is how they raved on Jonathan in 2015.
His (Obi) previous experience is not enough for this one (presidency), it will be hard. His experience is not deep enough. Even as a current governor ruling in a time of crisis, I know how hard it is. I even want to learn under Atiku because he has experience with the federal government.
The thing is not easy. For them to have handled the economy at that time and made it something better, offering hope, creating jobs, and filtering the society, was not easy because it’s a bigger thing. So someone is supposed to learn through that. If you look at Obi’s experience you’ll know it’s small.”he said
