The governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Abia State, Chief Sunday Onuoha has endorsed Peter Obi for the presidential election.
โIt is our conviction that the Labour Party Presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, and his running mate, Senator Datti Baba Ahmed, will enthrone good governance and accountable stewardship for our common good. Men who can lead with the fear of God, and fashion a โNew Nigeriaโ for us all โ young, old, man, woman, able and vulnerable,โ he said in a statement Monday.
โHaving personally perused, and compared the principles in the Manifesto of the Labour Party with my Gubernatorial Manifesto for โA New Abiaโ, I have no doubt that Mr. Peter Obi is prepared, mentally and physically, for the job of overcoming our paradoxical underdevelopment, and cultivating a โNew Nigerian Personalityโ for us here now, and our future generations.
โMy shared philosophy and manifesto with Mr. Peter Obi in the areas of Education, Women, Health and Youth Policies, as well as Traditional Institutions/Traditional Rulers and Culture, fits my idealistic prism of a leader with conscience, who will hear the voices of the aged, vulnerable groups and the physically challenged.โ
He said Obi โremains our preferred candidate, for his integrity and willingness to fashion a new Nigeria, meeting the aspirations of low and middle-income earners, while bringing to birth an ethical renaissance, which will transform our present decadent psyche.
โThe man Peter Obi is like a torch-bearer, holding out light at the end of the tunnel of Nigeriaโs lost compass, and I feel confident that a social contract with him, is a charter of good fortune for Nigerians. So, help us, God!โ
