Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki
Eko Hot Blog reports that Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, says Nigeria will fail and break up if the All Progressive Congress (APC) wins the 2023 presidential election.
He made the prediction on Monday during the inauguration of members of the Edo State People’s Democratic Party (PDP) campaign council management committee.
Obaseki noted that the heads of Nigerians “should be examined” if they contemplate returning APC to power.
He further claimed that the APC-led government has done unprecedented damage to the country.
The governor, therefore, stated that the PDP will do everything possible to ensure it wins the presidential election and majority of the national assembly seats.
“I believe that this will be an easy election for us if we campaign right. Our heads should be examined as citizens of Nigeria if we even contemplate voting for a government like APC. God forbid APC comes into power; this country will break up; this country will fail. It has already failed,” he said.
“Nobody has done the kind of damage the APC administration has done to this country. I don’t know how we’ll recover. They have destroyed the basis of this country.
“By the grace of God, our candidate will win. We’ll bring back Nigeria; we’ll unify this country. We’ll reduce the differences we have and we’ll begin to build our country to what God says it should be.”
Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi
Obaseki also took a swipe at the supporters of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, popularly known as ‘Obidients’, saying they will run out of steam before the election.
“I don’t see any other person in the horizon. People who say they are Obidient, let them all be because they’ll run out of steam,” he said.
“We know how to manage elections. They can’t even form their campaign council not to talk about having timetable for the election. This election is ours to lose and by the grace of God, we will not lose it.
“There’s no division in our party. A few people may be aggrieved but fundamentally, everybody is working for PDP. So, let us not get distracted anymore. Let us keep our eyes on the ball and move.”
Obaseki was a member of the APC until he lost the party’s ticket to seek re-election in 2020.
