Chief Chukwuemeka Ezeife (in read cap) poses with the group
The “Peter Obi Movement” was in Abuja described as a national movement directed by the Almighty God Himself.
Chief Chukwuemeka Ezeife, a former Anambra State governor, said this while receiving members of Youth Expresses Support for Peter Obi Support Group (YES-Peter Obi), led by Mr. Ikenna Mbanefo who paid him a consultation visit in his Asokoro residence.
Said Ezeife: “It appears God has taken over the problems of Nigeria and nobody can now say he/she is seeing it as an Igbo project, no, but it’s a national movement”.
The former Anambra State governor said that the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and All Progressives Congress (APC) primaries marked the climax and end of bullion van politics in Nigeria.
Stated the elder statesman: “Yes, I saw the PDP primary and especially the APC primary and after that I said it is the end of bullion van politics, a climax and the end of the bullion van politics in Nigeria. The period that the exchange rate of naira black market for the dollar changed. So I think the people have keyed into the right thing and the steps you are taking are the right steps.
“Please do your best, try to get all the youths; if anyone is not yet there, let them join. I don’t know how this money issue can buy this one. I want you to spread the message, spread this message that voters, delegates should collect money from anybody who brings the money. Take the money from candidate A, candidate B and Candidate C, let them bring the money taken from your common pot, and political money, if it gets into your pocket it expires like drugs.
“Moreover, if anybody gives you money and says that you should swear that you will vote for me, swear, some people swear by jumping across a coffin, don’t be afraid of it, the only thing you will do is that at the point of voting, vote according to your conscience and then you are a free man. So let them bring out that money they stole in bullion van”.
Ezeife who expressed excitement at the way youths have risen to reclaim their country, said he was poised to write a letter to fellow Nigerians to be titled: “Welcome New Nigeria”.
He said the new Nigeria was the type where the Fulani will be very happy and there will be peace. He said that right now Fulani are hated by every group and if there was war everyone will fight with that feeling. But after two years of Peter Obi in office, fulanis would become happy and accept to be equal with any other group and not to puff authoritatively.
With Peter Obi’s Nigeria, after two years in office, there will be no talakawas. God did not give anybody the destiny for poverty but in the north where we are now, there are some people who are proud to go begging.
Recounting how someone told him three days ago that if you go to a big Emir and you are leaving, and that you will see troops begging, Ezeife held that after two years of Peter Obi’s government, the foundation of education of almajiris would be laid.
Recalled the former governor: “Our brother Goodluck Jonathan started the schools, but I am told that they are now abandoned. But we cannot have a system where some people will not go to school. We want everyman to be able to feed his family. You will see Hausa will say thank God Fulani is no longer taking us as slaves and Yorubas will say Oodua should be suspended for now.
“No group in Nigeria will happily work out of a Nigerian system that has evolved and has more respect, more dignity for all blacks.
“With Peter Obi’s government, Nigeria will take it’s rightful place amongst these superpowers of the world and they will respect the blacks. God did not create the black man inferior to the white man. When you find Africans in Oxford, Cambridge or any of these super-schools, you go there and find blacks beating whites.
“So let’s pray, all powers belong to God and when you say yes, your God says yes”.
