Former
Anambra State Governor and presidential aspirant Peter Obi, on Wednesday, May
25, 2022 tendered his resignation from the Party and stepped down from the
race. This was coming after internal politicking within the PDP divided the
party along ethnic and religious interest.
Peter
Obi has garnered support from outside and within the country but his fate would
first be determined by the party delegates before the teeming supporters could
back him with votes at the poll.
However, the Group Managing Director of Haldane McCall Plc (formerly Suru Group Ltd), Edward Akinlade has described Peter Obi's resignation as a huge loss to the party and Nigeria as a nation.
He
had earlier in the day implored Nigerians to work and secure their future and
support the former Governor in this journey to rescue Nigeria from the clutches
of decay and disnintegration
He
disclosed this on Wednesday, May 25, 2022, during a virtual press conference
from the United Kingdom noting that Peter Obi has what it takes to get Nigeria
back on the path of progress and that his campaign would require little
funding.
Mr
Edward Akinlade warned that Nigeria would remain in perpetual depression
for another eight years and go into extinction if it failed to produce a
formidable president in 2023.
“In
the unlikely event that the key stakeholders are unable to come together and
pick a governor as the PDP’s presidential candidate, I strongly urge you to
support Peter Obi as PDP’s presidential candidate for the 2023 election.”
“At
this time, equity, fairness and justice demand that the office of the president
of the Federal Republic of Nigeria be zoned to the South East. But more
importantly, even if Peter Obi was from Borneo, I would vote for him at this
time, beyond ethnic and political affiliations
Peter
Obi stands head and shoulder over all other candidates from the South East,
whether of the PDP or of the APC. He is a consummate businessman and a trusted
political administrator”
The
real estate guru said Obi’s candidacy would require little or no campaign, as
Nigerians across board are already agitating for him to become the president.
It is, therefore, politically wise to support his aspiration.
“A
Peter Obi presidency will not only heal the nation’s fault lines but will also
restore the country’s economic growth.”
