GREAT LION REPLIED PETER OBI THAT FAILED WOEFULLY DURING PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇
IGBO PRESIDENCY : AMAECHI REPLIES PETER OBI
Minister of Transportation Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi has lashed out at the Vice Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Mr. Peter Obi for saying that he (Amaechi) is not politically relevant to discuss whether Igbos should have the Presidency in 2023 or not.
Amaechi who spoke on the sidelines, at an Interactive forum of Maritime Stakeholders in Lagos, on Tuesday, said the former Anambra State Governor does not have the credibility to speak on the matter because he could not win the Presidential election.
According to Amaechi, "Peter Obi said I'm not an Igbo man and that I don't have the locus to discuss whether Igbo Presidency will be or not in 2023. That comment is a very sad and cheap one from him....."
"But the truth is that Peter Obi too does not have the locus to speak about Igbo Presidency because he and his party couldn't win the Presidential election. Aside from that, it’s most unfortunate that Peter Obi, a man I defeated to become the Chairman of Nigeria Governors Forum(NGF), when we were both governors, can wake up today to say I am not relevant in the polity to talk about national issues when journalists ask me questions about it.”
Amaechi also said right from when he became Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly till date his name has been in the front burner of national politics far more than Peter Obi.
Amaechi said that for the Igbos to get the Presidency in 2023, they must be part of "National Politics".
"I think what is important which I have said to the Igbos severally is that they need to be part of National Politics. If they are not part of National Politics they cannot be President. National Politics means that an Ikwerre man must have his interest covered by the Igbos If they want to be President. The Yoruba man must have the Igbos cover their interests, the Hausa, Fulani people must also be confident that their interests are covered by the Igbos".
"I support Igbo Presidency. I believe that It’s the Igbo turn to produce the next President of Nigeria because they have not been there before. The country will be unfair to the Igbos If they say It's not their turn. But It can't be your turn and you don't want to fight for it. You want us to wake you up from sleep and say come and take, it is your turn? It doesn't work like that and It will not work that way. So, Peter Obi should close his mouth. He lost an election which I won and that's why President Buhari, not Atiku will be sworn-In tomorrow as President", he explained.
