Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has replied the former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, over his comment which said that if elected as Nigeria’s president, the administration of the former Governor of Anambra State would be disastrous.
Saraki spoke during an interview on Arise Television on Monday. He notedt that Labour Party has no candidates to fill up the parliamentary seats, hence things may not go well if the party wins the presidential election.
In a swift reaction,the spokesperson of the Obi-Datti movement, Kenneth Okonkwo, who appeared on the same platform on Tuesday morning, said the structures being bragged about by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC), are those of criminality, poverty, insecurity, scarcity of fuel and bad leadership.
He said that Obi was coming in to destroy such structures and take the country to a new height of productivity and exportation. Okonkwo , who is a Nollywood Actor, said that what Obi needed is to be in control and not necessarily to have members in the national assembly.
He added that what was important is political will and strong institutions. Okonkwo assured that the Labour Party presidential candidate is going to provide good leadership for the country.
He said : “The structures that the PDP and APC have are structures of criminality, the structure of corruption, structure fuel scarcity , structure of poverty, structure of insecurity and structure of bad leadership.
“I can go on and on . So, if Obi is part of that structure, you see me being a spokesman to him. And that is why he is coming in to destroy such structures. Obi is a man already yielding to Democratically ingenuine change.
