Ezeife Asks Umahi To Withdraw Statement Against Peter Obi

Former governor of Anambra State, Dr. Chukwuemeka Ezeife has asked Ebonyi State governor, Dave Umahi, to withdraw the statement he made against Labour Party candidate, Peter Obi.

Umahi had in the statement that went viral, said there is nothing like Igbo agenda in the forthcoming election, adding that what he has is Ebonyi agenda.

He insisted that Ebonyi people will not vote for Peter Obi during the 2023 general elections.

But speaking in an Arise Television interview, Ezeife warned against such a stance at a time the country needed a real change.

“We are fighting ourselves in Nigeria. God designed us to lead the blacks and we are about to begin that job.

“Now that change is coming, let us not be clannish about it.

"I think the time has come for melting. Let Nigeria take the advantage and let Yoruba and Igbo work together.

“I therefore appeal to all Nigerians to pray because sometimes we spoil the good things God has planned for us with our bad mouth.

“We are arrogant to the extreme. A change is coming to Nigeria and let nobody block it through arrogant propaganda.

“We need people who will think a way from ethnicity.

"There is comprehensive corruption everywhere.

"Now we say we want Igbo president, but no delegate from other states voted for aspirants from South East because of money."
