APC has no plan for Igbo presidency – Obasanjo
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Saturday asked the Igbo to be wary of promises from the All Progressives Congress ahead of next year ’ s general elections.
Obasanjo , who spoke at a stakeholders ’ meeting at Ukpor in the Nnewi South Local Government Area of Anambra State , said the APC had no plans to hand over the presidency of the country to the Igbo .
He urged the Igbo to take their destiny in their hands by getting united in the 2019 general elections and make a mark .
He said , “ I urge you the Igbo not to allow anybody to relegate you to the background because you occupy a place of preeminence in this country .
“ The Igbo must bury their differences and work together for the actualisation of the Atiku / Obi project in their best interest. It ’ s dangerous to take the APC government seriously . ”
Describing Peter Obi as a beacon of hope , Obasanjo asked him to reach out to major stakeholders in South -East to drum support for the 2019 PDP presidential project.
“ You and your presidential candidate have become the beacon of hope to all Nigerians who have had it so rough in the last four years . ”
“ You need to think out of the box to take this country out of the woods caused by the incumbent clueless administrators .
“ With your pedigree as a governor , I ’ m hopeful that things will work again in Nigeria under your leadership as vice president .
In his welcome address , the first republic aviation minister , Chief Mbazuluke Amechi , described Obi as good man , adding that the Atiku / Obi ticket was needed at a time like this .
