Umeh Speaks On Obi Investing State Funds In Personal Business

Elder Statesman and First Republic Aviation Minister, Mbazulike Amechi, has said that the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, is sent by God to save Nigerians from suffering.

Amechi stated this on Thursday during an interview with newsmen in his Ukpor home in Nnewi South Local Government Area of Anambra State.

He stated that the emergence of Obi and his running mate, Datti Baba-Ahmed has afforded Nigerians the chance to save and rescue the country from total collapse.

The elder statesman added that the nation has been economically and politically raped for many years and has been sunk into a catacomb of corruption, looting and religious-cum-tribal bigotry.

He also accused the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and All Progressive Congress, APC, of being insensitive to the plights and needs of Nigerians in the selection of their presidential candidates and running mates.

Amechi accused PDP of playing smart by half in selecting its flagbearers, while APC presented an expired drug to heal a patient that is near coma.

He said: “PDP acted without wisdom and foresight and threw away the principle of equity and balance in selecting a northern candidate who may be capable, but it is not his term and selecting a running mate exhibited cleverness by half.

“APC paid deaf ears to the cry of the nation. They suicidally fielded mono-religious flagbearers to rule a multi-religious nation.

On the coming presidential election, I am no longer a politician but I cannot keep dumb when I see the country, which I gave my whole youth and blood to co-found being pushed to an irretrievable pit of disintegration and anarchy.

“Since the operation of the military imposed Constitution in 1999, two major political parties have ruled the country. They are PDP and APC.

“In their preparation for the 2023 presidential election, both parties have goofed in their selection of their presidential candidates and their running mates.

“Since their ruling the country in 1999, the nation has sunk into the stinking catacomb of corruption, looting and religious-cum-tribal bigotry.”
