2023 Presidency: My Support For Peter Obi Not Based On Tribe — Peter Okoye

Popular singer Peter Okoye who is an outspoken supporter of Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi has addressed those assuming his stance is because of his tribe.

Speaking via his official Twitter account, Mr P gave an analogy of having to choose between Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and Former Abia State Governor Orji Uzor Kalu.

To buttress his point, the artiste hinted that he and other Igbos in the country would shun tribal sentiment and pick Osinbajo and vote massively for him.

"If you think I am supporting PETER OBI because he is Igbo, try replacing him with Yemi Osibanjo against Orji Uzo Kalu and see if myself and Igbos won’t massively vote for Yemi Osibanjo", the social media post reads.
