Vote for Atiku, Nigeria doesn't need kindergarten president- Ekwunife


The candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP in Anambra Central senatorial district, Senator Uche Ekwunife has denied throwing jabs at Mr Peter Obi.

Ekwunife who was at Uyo, Akwa Ibom State for the official flag off of the presidential campaign of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP had said Nigeria didn’t need a kindergarten president.


Ekwunife in a now viral video, while campaigning for the PDP President-General candidate, Atiku Abubakar said Nigeria does not need one who will always remind the country of her problem, but one who knows how to solve it.

Many followers of Peter Obi in Anambra State had interpreted the video to be referring to Peter Obi, the Presidential candidate of Labour Party, LP.

Many supporters of Obi have been lashing at Ekwunife, who had before now, proclaimed herself as a political daughter of Obi, before Obi left the PDP for LP.

But in a press release, Ekwunife who seems to have realised her folly has recanted, saying she was not reacting to Obi.

In a press release by her media assistant, Mr Kingsley Ubani, Ekwunife said the video was being misinterpreted.

Ubani in the release said: “The Senator representing Anambra Central Senatorial District, Uche Ekwunife PhD, earlier today stated that Nigeria needs a President that can transit its economy from consumption to production, adding that the country does not need a kindergarten President.


“Ekwunife who spoke at the PDP Presidential Campaign flag-off in Uyo, Akwa Ibom state was addressing Nigerians on the need to support her Party’s Presidential Candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

“The interpretation in some quarters that Senator Ekwunife was referring to the Labour Party Presidential Candidate, Mr Peter Obi or the candidate of any other political party in her speech, is wrong.

“Senator Ekwunife’s statements were in line with the fact that Nigeria needs a President who is well rounded, and has the resume, experience, mindset and qualifications to lead the country out of the woods.”

E sure for Atiku!

She did not mention Obi's name but the wise ones said the old people are not happy when dried bones are mentioned!

Obi knows his party the PDP is sure for 2023.

We don't need another lazy Fulani as a president, please.

Lol as if she can give atiku 25% in her polling unit

I pity any politician negotiating with Igbo politicians hoping that would get you votes lmfao

Hehehe.

All these selfish politicians from southeast are clowns.

They were all shouting"it's Igbo turn to be the next president", hoping it will favour them.

Immediatly they lost out,they started singing a different song.

Peter Obi is the man for the job,they know once he win no more free money and looting,so they are doing everything possible to stop him.

Obidient is the answer.

Well.. I am rooting for the candidate the Nigerian politicians that have kept Nigeria this way dont like..

And most kindergarten pupils are wearing Pampers...

Baba Push and Start is a Kindergarten Candidate...

He is the incoming President of Irigbaji Pampers Sellers Association .... IPSA

You are right on the bolded and it never forgets.

Ekwu na ife but ikwu go ife. Anyị ga agwakwa gị ife na 2023 election

Apc guys are not very smart. If they notice they should have seen that all the social media attacks is on tinubu , and majorly from obi camp.
Obi camp is keeping apc busy ,if care is not taken ,apc will be focusing on obi throughout the electioneering campaigns instead of focusing on other issues and selling their candidate . The obi camp are doing a Damm good job and they are trying to change the issue to an ethnic one for APC , and once apc falls into this trap which they have already , they will certainly lose

E sure for Atiku!

Barking dog

Chiwawa

When you hear experience, structure etc you know already that’s the language of the old crooks that have held Nigeria down since 1960

IGBO People no like themselves. Na them go disgrace Peter Obi for this election. They did same to Okorocha, Ogbonanya Onu and Ojukwu.

Same Ekwunife that was having meeting with different community leaders telling them that she's with Peter Obi. Victor Umeh will be the major beneficiary of Ekwunife outburst against Peter Obi. My people are too emotional

Congratulations to Victor Umeh sha
