The Presidential candidates of Mr. Peter Obi of the Labour Party and Asiwaju Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, APC, have created parameters among members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and the APC in Enugu state.
While a 2023 PDP, Governorship Aspirant in the state, Denge Dr. Josef Umunnakwe Onoh said he will remain in PDP and campaign for the Tinubu Presidency in APC, a 2019 presidential aspirant in APC, Dr. SKC Ogbonnia washed his hands off Tinubu and has pinched tent with Obi in the Labour Party, even while he remains in the APC.
Both Onoh and Ogbonnia are credible politicians from Enugu state with respective followership in their different political parties.
Disclosing his preference for Tinubu against Obi, Onoh said that Tinubu has been tested and delivered creditably in Lagos state, adding that age was no barrier, just as Tinubu’s running in a Muslim/Muslim ticket was not of any qualms to him.
According to Onoh, in addition to Tinubu’s tested performance, his insistence on the former Lagos state Governor is anchored on the Southern Nigeria leaders, particularly the Southern Governors, which comprised of both PDP and APC governors, who met in Asaba, Enugu and Lagos, respectively, where they insisted that the next president of Nigeria, come 2023, must emerge from the southern part of Nigeria.
