#NigeriaDecides: Peter Obi Defeats Tinubu In Lekki Polling Units

The national chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, Victor Oye, has claimed that the former governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi‘s quest for the presidency will end in catastrophe.

According to Oye, Obi, who emerged as the governor of the state in 2006 and spent two terms in office, but later defected to the Peoples Democratic Party in 2014, where he became the Vice-Presidential candidate for the PDP in the 2019 general election, voluntarily made a vow not to leave APGA.

He added that Peter Obi allegedly wished himself and his family death if he abandoned the party, which made him governor between 2006 and 2014.

Okoye also attributed Obi’s loss with Atiku Abubakar in the 2019 election to the curse, adding that Obi will meet another failure as Labour presidential candidate until he returns to the party.

Speaking about the defection and how APGA was able to win the Anambra election, Oye said, “Remember that Peter Obi was in APGA, and when he was with APGA, he performed superlatively well. The moment he left APGA, the APGA spirit left him. He has never achieved anything politically ever since. If he wants to achieve anything politically, he should come back to APGA; then, we will now re-ignite the APGA spirit in him.

“That is how it is done. Let me tell you, let him continue to jump from pillar to post, he cannot achieve anything because APGA gave him a platform and he took a vow that he will never leave APGA until death does them part. Now he left APGA; what do you expect would happen when you take a vow? A vow is a covenant and you must keep it. That is what is happening here. He has joined Labour Party for Presidency, it will be a catastrophic exercise, it will not work.”
