The Igbo apex sociocultural organization, Ohaneze Ndigbo has predicted that the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi would win the forthcoming election.
Ohanaeze Ndigbo National Vice President, Damian Okeke-Ogene who said this on Wednesday, predicted the votes that Obi will gather in 2023.
Okeke-Ogene predicted Obi will pull over eighty per cent of the total votes cast in the forthcoming presidential election.
He noted that endorsement from the Afenifere, Middlebelt Leaders Forum and several other ethnic social-cultural organisations in the country led to the prediction.
Okeke-Ogene who spoke during the inauguration of the Anambra State Obi/Datti Campaign Committee said the South East’s support for Obi has not nothing to do with the fact that he hails from the region.
“We are not supporting him because he is an Igbo man. Ohaneze is fully in support of the Peter Obi/Ahmed Datti joint ticket. We are fully in support of it “in and out.
“The Yorubas are supporting Obi/ Datti ticket, they are even leading in support of the ticket for the national interest. They said it is a payback time for Ndigbo for supporting Abiola and Obasanjo.
“We gave them 90 per cent votes and they are appreciative. Why won’t the Igbo support the movement?”
