Ifeanyi Okowa, governor of Delta, says Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), does not have the needed experience to lead Nigeria.

Okowa, who is the vice-presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), spoke in an interview with BBC pidgin.

While admitting that Obi has experience from being a former governor, he, however, added that it is not “deep” enough to lead Nigeria.

[b]“I did not say he won’t have any votes, he will have. But what I’m saying is that he’s not a new candidate. It has not been long since he left PDP. You know he was in APGA before, from APGA he came to PDP. It hasn’t been long since he left (PDP) so he cannot say anything about PDP because that’s where he was before,” he said.

“Some of us are still here. At every party, there are good people and bad people. But today’s Nigeria is very troubled and we need the right person. That is why I am appealing to our youths be wise and vote well, they should not be blinded by the concept of a false change because that is how they raved on Jonathan in 2015.

“His (Obi) previous experience is not enough for this one (presidency), it will be hard. His experience is not deep enough. Even as a current governor ruling in a time of crisis, I know how hard it is. I even want to learn under Atiku because he has experience with the federal government. The thing is not easy. For them to have handled the economy at that time and made it something better, offering hope, creating jobs, and filtering the society, was not easy because it’s a bigger thing. So someone is supposed to learn through that. If you look at Obi’s experience you’ll know it’s small.[/b]

Speaking on the crisis in the PDP, Okowa said Nyesom Wike, governor of Rivers, is his friend and that he is making an effort to reach out to him.

“We’ve been talking internally, everything is being settled. You know that when something happens and everybody can’t agree, it’s settled bit by bit. That is what we’re still working on from the inside. We are finding a way to talk I’ll say, he is my friend, I am his friend, and we will find a way to talk,” he said.

“Atiku has said his own version of what happened, and I am sure that version he said is the true position. I am also not saying that Wike is lying, but if someone carries their anger, it is important to air your views. For us in the party, it’s about how to bring everybody together, how all of us can work together. Wike is still a very important member of the party, he has worked so hard for the party as many of us have worked hard too so we pray that everything comes together and we talk. I’m sure very soon we’ll be sitting down.”

The decision of Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the PDP, to name Okowa as his running mate for the 2023 presidential election caused division in the party.

Some party stakeholders, including Samuel Ortom, governor of Benue, had expressed concerns over Atiku’s decision to ignore Wike, who was recommended for the position by the party’s national working committee (NWC). Wike placed second in the party’s presidential primary election which took place in May.

But in a recent interview, Atiku said the panel did not choose Wike and that he did not pick Wike as his running mate because he wanted someone he could work with “amicably”.

Responding to the claims made by the PDP presidential candidate in the interview, Wike accused Atiku of lying, saying he would speak on the matter soon.

And look at the kind of people downgrading a better person
Check yourself before you check others.

Okowa is a misplaced priority

jerseyboy:
Obi will soon be president ... of Biafra.

OBI IS IBO **** IBO IS OBI
OBI IBO **** IBO OBI

Once Obi is elected as the next president of federal republic of Nigeria.

You'll need Biafra passport and visa to visit Biafra land

Yes, Peter Obi unlike Tinubu & Atiku, lacks adequate experience in stealing of public funds.

Okowa better face ya front .. even Atiku your Oga sabi say Obi

You better dey thank God say Obi comot for PDP, if not Atiku no go look ya side.

Quest7777:
Yes, Peter Obi unlike Tinubu & Atiku, lacks adequate experience in stealing of public funds.

As long as we bury our heads in the sand and pretend non of these matter:
Obi stole N255 million ($2 million as at then) security vote every month and laundered into Pandora account.
Over 8 years Peter Obi stole $192 and hid it in the daughter's name in Pandora.

Does these below matter?

Oilwell:

Does these below matter?

Bleep Tinubu, the jaguda ole jagudabandit.
Obi is an ole and incompetent too and stole from a smaller pot.
In Obi's China, they both will hang along with Atiku.
END NIGERIA TO SAVE LIVES.

So who is the right person then?

I can never validate the process of my bondage by renewing my subscription every 4 years to the 1999 "Constitution" Terms of Surrender with a participation in this farce we like to pretend is democracy.
I work consistently day and night to break up Nigeria. I will never be a second class citizen in any country I am sovereign. Fulani will never accept terms of equality from infidels.

But the decadence, poverty and hunger reach your side also, fueling banditry and lawlessness.

Buhari has scattered everything and is leaving next year and must be replaced na.

So Obi/Datti 2023.

Okowa, what experience did you have before you became the governor of Delta state.
You are just an errands boy to James Ibori.
Pix: Emmanuel Uduaghan, James Ibori & Ifeanyi Okowa.

He’s a dunce

Ha

Its with Peter Obi I started hearing things I never heard in Nigerian politics before -

"He is a two time Governor but that is not deep enough experience to be President"

"He didnt turn Anambra into Dubai when he was Governor, so he has no moral right to be President"

"He just a social media noise maker"

"He didnt visit every Church and Mosque in Nigeria, so he shouldn't be President"

"He lied about a house he bought long before he entered politics, and about the number of watches he wears"

I just hope that those saying this will hold hold other aspirants such Tinubu, Atiku and Kwankwaso to the same level of scrutiny
