Anambra PDP Wants Peter Obi to Return and Rebuild the Party for a Better Nigeria
The Anambra State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has called on former governor Peter Obi to return to the party. Obi, who contested the 2023 presidential election under the Labour Party after leaving the PDP, was invited back during an expanded meeting of the PDP State Executive Committee held in Awka on Thursday.
In a statement signed by the state chairman, Chidi Chidebe, the party warned that forming alliances with groups that do not share similar values may not bring the expected results. He urged all former and aggrieved PDP members in the state, especially Peter Obi, to come back and join hands with the restructured and energized party. “We openly welcome all our brothers and sisters back, especially our respected former governor, Mr Peter Obi, to join us in our mission to build a better Nigeria,” Chidebe said.
He also encouraged voters in Anambra to support PDP candidates Jude Ezenwafor and Francis Okeke in the upcoming elections. Chidebe further appealed to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to ensure that the process is free, fair, and transparent. In the same meeting, the party announced the unanimous nomination of Chief Clems Ezike as Anambra’s National Ex-Officio and asked the Southeast Zonal Executive Committee, led by Chief Ali Odefa, to forward his name to the PDP national secretariat.
Politician and former President Olusegun Obasanjo speaks on Nigeria and shares that the possibility of Nigeria surviving another civil war is quite low.
He revealed that the issues that led to the Biafra War have not been resolved and that if another war breaks out, it will be much harder to resolve.
Reflecting on the civil war, he shared “The conditions that led to the Nigerian civil war years ago still remain unresolved.”
“I was involved in the civil war, but whenever people ask me about the Asaba massacre, I always tell them I cannot give details because Murtala Muhammed was responsible for operations in that area.”
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose pleads with the government and President Tinubu that the minimum wage needs to be increased.
He shared that the current minimum wage of ₦70,000 is not enough considering the current state of the country and urged the government to increase it to ₦200,000.
“President Tinubu, have mercy on our people and increase the minimum wage to ₦200,000 now. I don’t think anyone can survive on the current ₦70,000 minimum wage. ₦70,000 is nothing. If we don’t solve the minimum wage problem, we can’t solve crime.”
Human rights activist and lawyer Deji Adeyanju has faced backlash after suggesting that opposition figures, including Peter Obi, could contribute to President Tinubu’s chances of re-election if opposition votes remain divided.
He stated “If Tinubu gets re-elected in 2027, blame Peter Obi and the other contractor-general. With all the insecurity and kidnapping in the country, they are the ones aggressively working for his second term by ensuring opposition votes are divided like they did in 2023.”
His comments sparked criticism from many Nigerians, who argued that Peter Obi is not the only opposition figure and should not be solely blamed for political divisions.
