The African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore has dismissed the chances of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, as the solution to Nigeria’s problems.
Speaking on Monday at the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) conference in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, where he also challenged former Rivers State Governor and ex-Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi over their records in government, Sowore submitted that Obi failed during his time as the Governor of Anambra State.
Speaking against the backdrop of politicians who have been in government in the past and failed to make a reasonable impact, Sowore said even Peter Obi, as governor, didn’t perform well.
He said Obi failed to adequately support education and other public services during his tenure.
The publisher said politicians seeking to lead Nigeria should account for their past performance rather than present themselves as solutions to problems they allegedly failed to address while in office.
Naija News reports that he specifically questioned Obi’s record as governor of Anambra State, citing prolonged industrial actions involving lecturers and doctors.
“We can not ignore those of you who have governed before, who refused to subsidise your people. Peter Obi did not subsidize education in his state. Lecturers and Doctors went on strike for 13 months,” Sowore submitted.
He argued that some Nigerians may like Obi’s current personality, but his historical records as the Governor of Anambra State does not show that he has the solution to Nigeria’s problems.
“You may like him as a person, but he did not perform as a Governor. That is the truth,” he added.
Obi remains the best who has ruled as governor in Nigeria during his era…We Nigerians want to enjoy the dividends of democracy even to the lowest citizen of our country..which i assume only Obi can do it..bcus he has human sympathy..
I don,t know him, but i have been watching his life over the years..he has enermous grace to put smile on peoples pains…May God help us to have him as our…president…in J.n.
Resounding Amen, amen, amen in Jesus mighty name.
We want people that have the fear of God in heart and the love and mind to do go to the people to rule us in this country , no matter the tribe he or she comes from, “Enough is enough”, it is no longer going to business as usual God bless Nigeria and keep us united IJN.
