One of the presidential aspirants of the Peoples Democratic
Party and former governor of Anambra
State, Peter Obi, has said the consensus arrangement being promulgated by some
aspirants was not what Nigeria needs at the present time, adding that the
country needs someone that would work to rescue the country to get out of its
challenges as the next president.
He also said Nigerians should not allow the All Progressive
Congress government to continue, stating the government has drawn the country
backward.
Obi stated this while speaking at a meeting with chieftains of
the PDP in Ondo State, at the party secretariat in Akure, the state capital, on
Sunday, ahead the forthcoming primaries of the party.
He said, “The children can no longer eat, we are at high level of misery, we cannot allow them to continue.
“If nothing is done to Nigeria’s problem, it will consume
all of us. It will consume our children too.
“We must not talk about the consensus now, we must talk
about who will work. Nigerians want consensus that will solve the Nigerian
problem.
“We want someone that
will take Nigeria from consumption to production level. We must elect somebody
that can do the work. We are not talking about who will become the next
president of Nigeria but who will start working for this country called
Nigeria.”
In his remarks, a leader of the PDP in Ondo and former
governor of the state , Olusegun Mimiko, said the PDP was lucky to have
competent and credible persons as aspirants to contest for the post of
president.
