The vice presidential candidate of Labour Party, LP, Datti Baba-Ahmed has reacted to the statement credited to the vice presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Ifeanyi Okowa.
Okowa had, in an interview with BBC pidgin, accused the former governor of Anambra state, Peter Obi, lacking enough experience to rule Nigeria.
He said that Obi’s experience is small compared to the problems bedeviling the country. He advised the youths to be wise while electing their leaders come 2023 elections.
His words: “I did not say he won’t have any votes, he will. But what I’m saying is that he’s not a new candidate. It has not been long since he left PDP.
“You know he was in APGA before; from APGA he came to PDP. It hasn’t been long since he left PDP. So he cannot say anything about PDP because that’s where he was before.
“Some of us are still here. At every party, there are good people and bad people. But today’s Nigeria is very troubled and we need the right person.
“That is why I am appealing to our youths to be wise and vote well. They should not be blinded by the concept of a false change because that is how they raved on Jonathan in 2015.
“His (Obi) previous experience is not enough for this one, it will be hard. His experience is not deep enough.
