LP Chairman: How Obi Sidelined Indigenes In Sokoto/zamfara And Picked Igbos by tinsel: 12:57pm On Feb 01, 2023

In a voice note obtained by SaharaReporters, Abdulrahaman accused Obi and his running mate, Dr Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed of sidelining him and his numerous supporters.

The Sokoto State Chairman of the Labour Party (LP), Abdulrahaman Chindo has said he and his supporters will boycott the campaign rally of the party's presidential candidate, Peter Obi in the state.

In a voice note obtained by SaharaReporters, Abdulrahaman accused Obi and his running mate, Dr Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed of sidelining him and his numerous supporters.


He added that an Igbo man was given money and asked to chair the rallies to be held in Sokoto, Kebbi and Zamfara states.



SaharaReporters · 'Peter Obi Picked Igbo Man To Chair Labour Party Campaigns In Sokoto, Zamfara; Sidelined Indigenes'
In 2022, Obi had named one Ifeanyi Ezeagu, a Christain of Igbo extraction as the Sokoto State coordinator of his campaign organisation.


Sokoto, the seat of the Sultan of Northern Nigeria is mainly populated by Fulani people. Most Sokoto residents are Sunni Muslims, with a Shia minority.

Kebbi, another state with over 90 percent Muslims also has one Emmanuel Danjuma, a Christian as coordinator.

“I’m making this voice note to call to the notice of our leaders of the party that issues have been happening in some states about this rally, we have been hearing of it. People have been complaining and now it’s our turn, it has come to Sokoto, Kebbi and Zamfara,” the Labour Party Chairman said.

“The Vice President was saddle to look after the Northern Nigeria but unfortunately, I’m disappointed in the Vice President because the money to be used for the rally was given to an individual who is an Igbo man, not an indigene of Sokoto. They said he is going to chair the rallies of Sokoto, Kebbi and Zamfara.

“We learnt of that, we told him that it was wrong, the Vice President with immediate effect apologised and promised to get an end to that but up to yesterday, he has not taken any action. They came; he sent his PA and Chief of Staff. They came and we sat with them. We sat with them and we are disappointed. They have even showed us that without the party chairman or governorship candidate, they can do their rally. We wish them well.

“I’m disappointed in the way and manner our presidential candidate and our Vice Presidential candidate are treating us, because we sacrificed our lives to Delta state to vote Peter Obi as our presidential candidate but in return, this is what we seeing. And he is yearning for new Nigeria and this is the new Nigeria we are seeing now. I don’t believe if this continues, there would be a change, even if he becomes President. As a party chairman, nobody showed me any regard. They have disappointed me and I won’t forget all these things they did to me.

“Rally is tomorrow but nobody has engaged me. What they did to me is very bad; they disregard me as party chairman. So they said they can do their stuff, they have done many states and will do same here. Since they have decided to use an Igbo man, someone who is not from North West, so let them continue. I have reached out to Vice President, he is not picking my calls, I have reached out to Peter Obi too; he is not picking my calls.”

What do you expect from an IPOB President . Those who knows the political history of Obi know very well how selfish and greedy he is. Someone with such character can never be president of Nigeria, he’s been going about using religious sentiment as a form of campaign strategy. This same Obi swore with his life never to leave APGA but quickly dumped APGA without blinking an eye for selfish reasons, also left Pdp same way. Na dis kind person with flawed personality and zero integrity una believe say go keep to his deceitful campaign promises? Obidients are jokers and it’s about time they put their thinking cap on. Their shall be Igbo presidency(that’s when they finally learn to stop their Nzogbu Nzogbu politics) but it won’t ever happen with Obi the repackaged corrupt man. Neverrrrrrr. See the picture below few years ago before tribal bigotry took over the same set of people called Obidients.

You guys thought Obi is GEJ that doesn't understand politics that you guys chopped his money and later dumped😆😆.

However, Just as 2015, APC have released Sowore and SaharaReporters their propaganda channels. Later he will come and start claiming to be different.

Lol. Obi is no stranger on politics.
Politics is about working with people you trust, and who have shown passion about your campaign.

Okupe insisted on making an Igbo man the coordinator in Sokoto because most northern politicians, especially traditional LP members, find it easy to betray you for their own benefits.

They are used to selling out to the highest bidder.

This one must have likely made a deal with Tambuwal to decamp to PDP in the coming days, and tell us how LP has no structures.

It was just yesterday that the one in Gombe or so, decamped to PDP.
Thank God Peter Obi doesn't rely on them.
He should keep wailing.

Peter Peter Obi has always been a bigot- a religious supremacist and a hardened tribalist, that's why IPOB terrorists have adopted him as their presidential candidate for this election forgetting about KANU who is rotting in prison from ear-aches and food poisoning. Remember that Obi oppressed northerners in Anambara when he was governor with his selective draconian policies meant to humiliate northern residents.

How many of them are Igbos

Look at Nigeria and tell me what the past leaders you are vying for have done for Nigeria

Where is Nigeria today Is Nigeria better

So playing the ethnic card this time around no go werk!

Even the north that voted for Buhari, regretted their action today, who no groan

My point is what makes Obi better than any of the candidates ? Go and check the topic in that image I attached and see the horrible things said about Obi in 2012, the topic is still there. All Obidients are tribal bigots, Peter Obi is an Igbo agenda.

At least his crime is not picking your call not embezzlement of public funds, use of thugs, bribing legislators to prevent his impeachment. If Peter Obi was to leave his focus at this critical stage to answer calls 24/7 he should be working as a customer care of MTN. As a state party leader are there no other formal channels of communication within the Labour Party where you can channel formal issues? 🤔
Oga if you believe in the betterment of Nigeria leave your personal ego aside and work for the success of your party's candidate. In all my years of electoral awareness i have never heard any excuse (to the extent of blackmail) so lame when other people contested elections. Abegi!
