“Then, as we are here, if all of us (Igbos) are saying the same thing, it will look somehow. We are happy to hear that some might not be supporting him, but that doesn’t mean anything. I know that 99 per cent of the people are for Obi.”

Senator Iyorchia Ayu, the PDP’s national chairman, welcomed all decampees to the party, noting that they made a wise decision by joining forces with the PDP to rescue the country from the ruling APC.
The delegation’s leader, Ibrahim Abdullahi, stated that the decision to support Obi was made to re-create the alliance between the North and South East that existed during the First and Second Republics.
Abdullahi said, “The current president is our Kinsman but we have come to realise from experience that you don’t need to have someone from your tribe or faith as president before your lives improve. What we need is somebody that is patriotic, honest, just and fair. In Nigeria, Fulani are no longer after tribal or religious sentiments.

“We are looking for a leader that is capable of taking Nigeria to the promise land. We have realised that these two tribes, Fulani and Igbo hold 99 per cent of the corporate existence of Nigeria. The Igbos have the control of over 80 per cent of the commercial activities in the country while the Fulanis control 99 per cent of livestock we have. Igbos and Fulani coming together to work for the good of Nigeria will be the best.
“You should also know that this is not the first time. The alliance between the two ethnic groups in the First and Second Republics brought prosperity to the country. Though, we are still licking the wound of civil war and course, we have offended ourselves but we are doing this to bring about the much needed healing.”
Chief Chukwuemeka Ezeife, former governor of Anambra State and chairman of the IECF, described Obi as a true unifier who will eradicate poverty, insecurity, and all the negatives associated with Nigeria.
In response to Anambra State Governor Prof. Chukwuma Soludo’s assessment of Obi’s chances, Ezeife stated that not everyone can support Obi’s presidential bid.
In an article titled ‘History beckons, and I will not be silent,’ Soludo dismissed Obi’s chances in 2023 and criticized Ndigbo’s approach to the country’s top seat.
The article elicited conflicting reactions across the country, particularly on social media, where Soludo was heavily chastised.
Ezeife said, “If Peter Obi becomes president, in the next two years, our sons and daughters abroad will begin to think of coming back home.
“God has his hand in Obi’s movement. I. Know him very well. Many years I left as a governor, I saw him at airport carrying his own luggage. He insisted that public fund must be use for public good.
