What Peter Obi will do to northerners if elected president – Okonkwo

Elder statesman, Senator Annie Okonkwo has said the north will benefit from Peter Obi Nigerian presidency.

Sen Okonkwo affirmed that the North will practically be the greatest beneficiaries if Obi is elected president in 2023.

He said: “It will be deeply regrettable if our desperate search for transformational leadership is again allowed to be kidnapped by emotions of ethnic and religious discussion, than marshall plans for rescue and revival, at this time of grave national perils,” he pointedly cautioned.

Okonkwo who spoke as chairman of eminent diaspora dinner for Peter Obi and his strategists in Los Angeles, USA, during his recent cross continental engagements, maintained that, the clarity of Obi’s political mission is obvious by its simplicity and common sense value, without any pretense to be rocket science, he said a release by his Media Adviser, Collins Steve Ugwu.

He wondered, how can the dimensions of possibilities embedded in Northern belt, elude the minimum facility of those who have ruled this country to ruin scandalously, yet their prime enablers who recruited them in the first place, still drum their entitlements as the next Aso Rock goalkeepers, instead of repentant town criers, if not for pure corruption insanity.

This is why the message must be louder that since this evil dynasty is never penitent, the citizens should justly serve them the penitentiary.

“The good side is that hope is here, because an empowered North will redeem Nigeria from hunger and starvation, poverty and penury. Agriculture will generate employment that will bring security and expand decent livelihoods.

“Secondly, from the blessings of those vast arable lands, will come the silver bullet for our quicker economic recovery far greater than oil and gas in the South.

“I am very happy, Peter Obi has marked it down as first line policy action of his administration, and believe our prolific Prof. Pat Utomi completely, who revealed to me, that Northern Nigeria can indeed feed West Africa, and still remain our continental food security depot, agro-tourism destination of choice and much more,” he said.
