According to a kinsmen of Mr. Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s flag bearer in Ondo State, the All Progressives Congress (APC) will prevail in the 2023 presidential election.
Igbo and other non-natives in the state claimed they supported Asiwaju Bola Tinubu because they thought he would benefit the nation.
They spoke at the state executives of the Emilokan Strikers, a populist organization that supported Tinubu for president, being inaugurated.
Nwamara Euchay, the Non-Indigenes Coordinator for the Ondo South Senatorial Zone, announced that Obi would leave for Tinubu.
She promised to bring the APC campaigns to Ondo State’s rural areas and into the homes of non-indigenous residents.
Euchay said: “APC is a progressive party. No matter the circumstances, we are going to win. Peter Obi is our son. We do not reject anybody. We will call people together and appeal to them. We believe Tinubu will bring good things to the country.
“Obi will step down for us. We are going out to talk about Tinubu. We will preach to them and calm them down to join the queue.”
Festus Alonge, the state coordinator for Emilokan Strikers, said that Tinubu’s presidency will bring the Awoist worldview to life.
He claimed that non-indigenous people will be approached in their homes and persuaded to support Tinubu
Alonge said: “Politics is about numbers and mobilisation. We are people of like mind and same vision. We are working assiduously, which was why we formed this group. Every support group must be in the field to ensure victory.
“If you see the way we organised the structure, we created an office for non-indigenes so that we would reach them. We have each person coordinating in each of the three senatorial districts. They are working in conjunction with those already appointed.”
