Support Tinubu, You Are Both From The South – Former Lawmaker To Peter Obi

obi 1

A former Lagos lawmaker, Jude Idimogu, has urged the 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, to support President Bola Tinubu’s reelection bid in 2027.

He opined that Obi would find it difficult to defeat Tinubu on any political platform in the next presidential election.

Idimogu stated this while speaking to newsmen during an interview on Sunday in Lagos.

He backed a recent call by the Deputy President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo urging Obi to drop his 2027 ambition and support Tinubu.

I strongly agree with the appeal to Obi. He should support Tinubu as both leaders are from the South,” he said.

The ex-lawmaker added that Obi’s ambition would only divide Southern votes again and weaken the region’s chances in 2027.

He urged all prominent Southern politicians to rally behind Tinubu and work hard to ensure his victory in 2027.

This is the South’s turn. Let’s not allow another Southern candidate to disrupt the zoning and help Northern interests,” he stressed.

Idimogu compared the situation to Buhari’s eight-year presidency, where northerners united behind their candidate despite public dissatisfaction.

Tinubu deserves full support. He cannot undo Nigeria’s problems in two years. With unity, progress is possible,” he stated.

He said a united Southern backing for Tinubu would guarantee a fair outcome and preserve the region’s hold on power.

While acknowledging Obi’s right to run, Idimogu urged Igbo leaders to prioritise regional interest and back Tinubu’s second term.

He appealed to Northern politicians to support Tinubu in completing a Southern presidency for equity and national stability.

According to him, constructive criticism and alternative solutions from the opposition are welcome, but unity must take precedence.

Neither PDP nor ADC has a candidate strong enough to unseat Tinubu,” Idimogu maintained.
