Former governor of Enugu State, Chief Okwesilieze Nwodo, has endorsed Mr. Peter Obi, saying Igbo would look beyond party lines in the 2023 elections.
In a statement issued by his media aide, Nwodo said that Igbo cannot afford to remain political slaves in Nigeria.
He also lambasted some Igbo politicians who sold Igbo agenda for money at the PDP and APC presidential primaries.
“Igbos will not remain political slaves serving other geo-political zones in Nigeria. I know that politics is dynamic. This is a period of political alignment and re-alignment for the Igbo politicians so that our common interest can see the light of the day.
“The Igbos would be looking for allies who can meet their demands to remain part of Nigeria political system. While they look for that in the major political parties, they have a big plan B in other parties. I know that the two important Igbos would be on the ballot paper for their political parties.
“The one that is most promising is Mr. Peter Obi, of the Labour Party,” the statement read in part.
