Olisa Metuh, a former National Publicity Secretary of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), on Saturday said that some chieftains of the party “would be so useful in achieving a balance of power for a Peter Obi’s presidency”.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that Metuh, who said Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, lacks “a major spread” in the National Assembly in the event he triumphs at the 2023 presidential poll, also advised his supporters to shun insults.
“Peter Obi joined Labour Party too late in the day to have a major spread/majority in the national assembly if and/or when he wins. I cannot, therefore, understand the condemnation and mob lynching of other southeast politicians who could be of massive help to him in achieving a peaceful balance of power should he be elected as Nigerian President,” Metuh said in a statement.
“Men like Okwy Nwodo, Emeka Ihedioha, Ben Obi, Osita Chidoka, Pius Anyim, and Sam Egwu would be so useful in achieving a balance of power for a Peter Obi’s presidency.
“Therefore, lies the folly in the insults and condemnation that could lower their negotiating value post-May 29th, 2023 should Peter Obi win.”
