2023: Contest between Atiku, Obi, Tinubu not in picture – APC ward chairman
By Julie Sylvia, Onitsha
The former All Progressive Grand Alliance, APGA, ward Chairman Aguleri, Anambra East Local Government Area, Mr Chuks Kwazu said that the 2023 Presidential election would be between the former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and former Governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi, Labour Party, LP.
The former All Progressive Grand Alliance, APGA, ward chairman in Aguleri, and now All Progressive Congress, APC, ward chairman, in same Aguleri, made the disclosure while fielding questions from newsmen.
“I was former Governor Willie Obiano’s (APGA), ward chairman in Aguleri, but I left the party when the party refused to conduct primary election because Hon. Chukwuma Umeoji, would beat Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo in the primary. I decamped to All Progressive Congress, APC where I am presently the APC ward chairman.
“I told Obiano that I was leaving because Soludo is a typical PDP man but he refused to listen and you can now believe me that all his (Soludo), actions, inactons and words are geared towards PDP. I wanted Hon. Chukwuma Umeoji to be the Governor but APGA refused to conduct primary election and picked Soludo, that was why I left APGA for APC.
” If you look at those appointees in the transition committee of Governor Soludo, you will find out that most of the members were PDP. Senator Victor Umeh, was No.1 in APGA register, but they schemed him out and now he is in LP, the mass movement party.
On the 2023 Presidency he stated that Asiwaju Tinubu, is not in the picture as the ticket is between Atiku and Obi, pointing out that Tinubu is weak healthwise and that his running mate, Kashim Shettima, is not wanted by Nigerians sequel to his alleged involvement in Islamisation agenda.
“The game now is that North wants Atiku because he is a full fledged Fulani man. So they are working for Atiku and if it fails, it is Peter Obi that will succeed President Buhari. They don’t want Shettima. So if we don’t work hard as Igbos, Atiku is the next President, North is working hard for Atiku.
“Labour Party is a mass movement party and everybody wants change of the leadership, and the change is for Obi to take over, so Obi and everybody should work hard, thank God with the electronic voting system that will be difficult to manipulate, it is a plus for Obi and Labour Party,” he hinted.
