Veteran Nollywood actor, Kanayo O Kanayo has urged Igbos to stay where ever they are across the country to cast their vote for the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, (LP), Peter Obi during the 2023 general elections.

According to the 60-year-old actor cum lawyer, via his Instagram page on Tuesday night, the totality of the southern votes, is over forty million and the only way the LP flag bearer can attain 25 percent from 36 States, is if those across the country stay put where they are to cast their votes.

He, however, stressed that rumors of wars and attacks against the Igbos during the elections are fabricated and geared to instill fear into the average Igbo person, so they will flee from where they are currently residing to their region during the 2023 polls.

“Warning to Igbos who reside outside the South East. STAY PUT AND CAST YOUR VOTES WHEREVER YOU RESIDE FOR 2023 ELECTIONS. This is not an Igbo Presidency. We are all Nigerians . Don’t mistake this video to mean Ndigbo alone can make Obi President of Nigeria. NOoooooooooo. I am advising Ndigbo to stay put in their places of residence/ where they registered to cast their votes. Let those who have ears hear SIMPLICITER, he wrote on Instagram page. 

I Am Contesting As A Nigerian

Meanwhile, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi has come out to clear the air about contesting as a Nigerian and not as a Biafra agitator.

According to him, he is running for the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as a Nigerian.

Obi cleared the air that he wasn’t contesting in support of any Biafra agitation because according to him Biafra war stopped existing about 52 years ago and it has remained so for him.

Naija News reports that the Labour Party flag bearer made this pronouncement when he was featured on Brekete Family Show in Abuja on Monday.

His reaction was against the backdrop of the agitation of the sovereign state of Biafra which is popular among some sections of the South East region.
