NZUKO Umunna, a socio-cultural group in Enugu State, says it has unequivocally endorsed the candidacy of Peter Obi and Ahmed Datti of Labour Party, LP, for president and vice president of Nigeria respectively.
In a statement signed on Wednesday, February 15, 2023, by Prof. Chinedu Nebo, President, Nzuko Umunna, and Uju Agomoh, Executive Secretary and entitled “Our stand on the presidential election”, Nzuko Umunna said it reached its decision after studying the national political dynamics.
According to the statement made available to Realnews, Nigerians have a chance to alter all these horrendous maladies as seen through the whopping national debt profile, the crumbling infrastructural network, the apathetic medical and educational sectors, and the unbearably chaotic insecurity situation have placed unprecedented level of depression, dismay, despair, and despondency upon the entire populace. The level of ineptitude in governance is alarming, by voting for the LP presidential candidate.
It noted that the forthcoming elections have the capacity to make or break NIgeria, especially at the presidential level and urged voters to answer the following questions before deciding on who to vote for at the presidential level.
Parts of the questions include:
“If you had a business enterprise, who among the candidates would you like to appoint as your Managing Director or CEO?
“If you have a huge wealth, who among them can you trust to secure it or invest it to yield maximum returns?
“Who among the candidates can you entrust your children’s education and future in his hands? Who is the most credible in the whole pack?
“Who among the candidates has been found to be free of corruption and criminal enrichment through misappropriation of public funds?
“Who amongst the Presidential candidates is qualified to be President using the parameters of justice, equity, and fairness because his geopolitical zone has not produced the President of Nigeria in our political dispensation?
“Is it morally right in a nation clamouring for unity, equity and fairness for a Northerner to succeed a Northerner, or for a Muslim to succeed a Muslim after eight years of occupying the post of President? Is it even socially or politically acceptable?
“From all indications, it is clear that one and only one of the candidates of the three front runner presidential candidates qualifies on ALL THE COUNTS adumbrated above. Providentially, the same candidate is the most competent, articulate, knowledgeable, and robustly healthy. His name is PETER OBI, whose running mate is also a star technocrat, an astute business mogul, and a celebrated educationist,” the statement said.
