Angry at the sidelining of northern Christians in the All Progressive Congress (APC) Muslim/Muslim presidential ticket, youths who were invited to welcome Governor Samuel Lalong of Plateau State as the Director General of the Tinubu-Shettima Campaign Organization into Jos, turned the rally into a Peter Obi “Obidient Carnival” in Jos the State capital.
The moment they sighted the governor’s motorcade approaching, chants rent the air with shouts of ‘Peter Obi’, ‘Lalong must be Obidient’, ‘we want Obi’ etc, showing the sentiments in their hearts.
Peter Gregory Obi is the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, and so far the only one with a message that is resonating with the true sentiments of the Nigerian people who want a productive and secure nation.
“The North Central region shall no longer be pall rice, eaten only when there’s no other choice”, Ayuba Matthew told The Oasis Reporters on the line from Jos South yesterday.
” Imaging the humiliating insult of having a Muslim presidential candidate from the South in the person of Alhaji Ahmed Tinubu, who goes on to pick another fellow Muslim in the person of Alhaji Kashim Shettima from the north as a way of saying that no Christian northerner is qualified to be on the APC’s presidential ticket whereas even our own governor here, Simon Lalong is of the APC. Are we only good as vote bags?
We must reject them and vote for Peter Obi of the Labour Party to restore our dignity “, Ayuba Matthew added further.
Gunshots of the security team attached to the Governor Lalong failed to scare the youths away.
It would be recalled that Plateau state youths turned out in their millions to rally and walk for Peter Obi last Saturday, as a pointer that the North Central seen as the beautiful bride politically in the north might swing the elections in favour of the new kid on the bloc, Labour Party and Peter Obi, come the February 2023 election.
