If Obi Loses, A Christian Southerner May Never Be President Again - Ayo Adebanjo

Ayo Adebanjo, leader of Afenifere, a Yoruba socio-cultural group has revealed the implication of Peter Obi of Labour Party losing the 2023 presidential election. According to him, the survival of Nigeria is tied to Peter Obi winning the presidential election. Speaking on Thursday in Abuja after a meeting of the Southern and Middle Belt Leaders Forum (SMBLF) during which Obi was endorsed, the Afenifere leader said electing the LP candidate will show that Nigeria values ethnic and religious inclusion.

 
“The battle is on. We are in a war and our opponents are not sleeping at all. They’ve underrated us in the past but they are now seeing the stuff we are made of now,” Adebanjo said.
“They are making all sorts of devices to ensure that power remains in a particular part of the country. That’s why they are not even supporting the candidate of their own party. “You are fighting for your freedom. Don’t joke with your freedom. Don’t be deceived. They are not going to organise any election. We are fighting to get out of slavery and bondage. “We all living in denial, even among the Igbo. The impunity is too much and you don’t want those who are dissatisfied to leave the country. “Obi’s phenomenon is not just about Labour Party. LP is now like NADECO. Obi is leading the crusade to get us out of the bondage of serious oppression. “They don’t want to leave office. I’m saying it openly here. It is not a joke that they want to scuttle the election. You must be prepared for post-election.
 
“We will give it what it takes. It is either bend or break. If Obi does not win, forget a country called Nigeria. If we lose this election, there will be no opportunity for a non-Christian, a non-northerner to be president again. “Right now they are planning to vote for Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, by jettisoning their candidate in the Labour Party. “They want another northerner to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari. How they want to do it, I don’t know, but we must all be prepared for a war. “Have it at the back of your mind that Obi must be declared president. Anything contrary to this, we should forget about Nigeria.”

Are you forgetting Tinubu is also a southerner? Until we rule out ethnicity and embrace what individuals have to offer we will continue to fight against each other's self interest! Of course, we should look beyond party and look at the individual but party platform is very strong, even a bad candidate will sail through on a popular party platform. Let us drop ethnicity and move Nigeria forward otherwise, let the 4 tiers go their separate ways...Togo is a country and they thrive!
