Some Nigerians have taken a swipe at the Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, over his comment on the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

Naija News reported that Okowa who is the vice presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said Obi does not have any experience to lead the country at the moment.

Speaking during an interview with BBC pidgin on Monday, Okowa said Obi’s only experience as a former Governor of Anambra State is not enough to lead Nigeria in 2023.

He stressed that leading a country like Nigeria is hard and hence someone like Obi needed more to occupy the seat of the presidency.

Okowa said he is eager to learn more under PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar who according to him has a wider experience with the federal government.

However, some supporters of the LP Presidential candidate have taken to social media to berate Governor Okowa over his comment on Obi.

Below are some of the reactions below.

Omor Obidents we have suffered. Where we go start with this one now? Epic failure of a governor talking about an experience.”

“The truth is, anyone who sat with Buhari for more than 5 minutes & still campaigned for him should be disqualified from any kind of leadership position.

“In a normal country, Atiku would have been cancelled for his 2015 choice.

“So, calling Govr Okowa a baby politician is disinformation.

“It is shocking because Ifeanyi messed up in Delta state to the extent that his “achievements” had to be DISTINGUISHED with ILLUSTRATIONS. He should settle with Wike first though. He owes Wike the spot.”
