A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Osita Chidoka says the South-East should back the party in the 2023 elections.
While observers believe Labour Party’s Peter Obi who is from the region will disrupt PDP’s dominance in the South-East, the former Aviation Minister said it would be unwise for Igbos to leave the party they have supported since 1999.
He believes that while advocates of an Igbo presidency outside the PDP are not wrong, the main opposition party is the shortest route for the South East to clinch the country’s top seat.
Conceding that Peter Obi has made significant progress in wooing Nigerians, he maintains that is not enough. According to him, the South East must move a step closer to make the presidential dream a reality.
