Again, the founder/CEO of the popular mass movement in Anambra State known as Oga Ndi Oga Foundation, High Chief Godwin Agbasimelo has given more reasons former Governor of Anambra State and Presidential candidate of Labour Party (LP) in 2023 general elections, Mr Peter Obi is still holding the ace as the outstanding choice for Nigeria’s top leadership seat in Aso Rock, Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Speaking to journalists at Ezinifite in Nnewi South Local Government Area of Anambra State when former Governor Obi paid a condolence visit to the family of late Emmanuel Agbasimelo who was the father of the kidnapped LP governorship candidate in 2021 governorship election in Anambra State, Mr Obiora Agbasimelo, the Oga Ndi Oga boss explained that Obi remained the best choice to be the President of Nigeria as he did not just have the interest of the people at heart but also understood the burden of the Nigerian masses and how to solve them.
“I have always said it and I will continue to say it that Peter Obi is the best choice for President as far as Nigeria is concerned because he possesses the quality of a good leader we need to address the challenges facing Nigeria. What I am saying is that he has the interest of the people at heart and more interesting is that he is available to make sacrifice for the people.
“Today, he has sacrificed time beating his tight schedules to visit Ezinifite because he has the interest of Agbasimelo family at heart. I am sure his kind of person will certainly address the challenges facing Nigeria if given the mandate to be President, “he noted.
He described the condolence visit to the family of late Emmanuel Agbasimelo by the 2023 Presidential candidate of the LP as a mark of love to the people, noting that his visit to condole with the family of the kidnapped governorship candidate of the LP at a time when the leadership of the LP at the national level abandoned a governorship candidate of the party who was in captivity of kidnappers was hugely appreciated by the family in particular and Oga Ndi Oga foundation in general.
He frowned that the national executive of the LP abandoned the governorship candidate of the party who was kidnapped at the peak of election campaign during the last governorship election in Anambra State in 2021.
“While we appreciate the visit of the ex-Governor, Obi, I am sure that you can recall that Mr Obiora Agbasimelo as the governorship candidate of the LP was kidnapped while on campaign for the 2021 governorship election in Anambra State and still missing till today, but the national leadership of the LP abandoned him completely and did nothing over it till today, not even paying a visit to Obiora’s family. Is that how to do politics. That’s very unfair attitude on the side of Abure and his executive. I am sure that Anambra would have been Abure’s second home if Obiora had won the election, “he submitted.
