2023: Peter Obi is better than Atiku – Orji

Sampson Orji, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, who was also the governorship aspirant of the party in Abia State, has declared his support for Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of Labour Party, LP.

Orji revealed this in a statement he made available to the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, on Thursday.

He said that his preference for Obi against PDP’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, was premised on Obi’s competence.

He further stated that he would mobilize support for Obi’s candidature because of his antecedent and not because he is his a fellow Igbo man.

“I’m a PDP man till tomorrow, but I will support Obi, not because he is Igbo but because of what he represents. Obi is a movement. My family and friends will vote for him.

“Atiku is my friend, but Obi is a better candidate.

“So, it is blindness to tell me to support Atiku, when we have Obi who has shown competence and capacity to take Nigeria out of the woods”, he said.
