Former Deputy Chairman, Media and Public Affairs, House of Representatives, Hon. Victor Afam Ogene, has described the Labour Party Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi, as “a symbol of the people’s revolution geared towards the enthronement of a new Nigeria.”
In a statement commemorating the 61st birthday of Obi, Ogene, who is the Anambra Labour Party candidate for Ogbaru Federal Constituency in the 2023 House of Representatives election, prayed for wisdom to enable the Labour Party flag bearer lead the coming ‘revolution’ peacefully.
He said: “It is with great pleasure that we join the ever-growing mass of supporters of Mr. Peter Obi, former governor of Anambra state, and presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 Presidential Election, to felicitate with him on the occasion of his 61st birthday anniversary.
“Like a goldfish that cannot be hidden, despite your modest lifestyle, you have become a shining light, and a model of purposeful leadership, whose antecedents have propelled to the fore across our dear country, Nigeria. As it were, I dare say that there appears to be a derived demand for Peter Obi’s life, having been chosen by the Nigerian people to lead the peaceful ‘revolution’ to take back their country from an inconsiderate elite.
“As it were, your record of service in Anambra state as governor remains insistent reminders of your capacity to lead our dear country, Nigeria, out of the doldrums of woe and depression, which successive bad leadership have plunged her into. Indeed, the widespread support of the youths and aged alike reflects the yearnings of the electorate to give you their votes to enable you replicate good governance on a national level.”
