In a recent statement, Chief Chi Nwogu, the immediate past President General of the Igbo Delegates Assembly in the 19 Northern states and Abuja, called on Peter Obi to adopt a more inclusive approach in his political engagements, particularly by establishing a stronger presence in Northern Nigerian cities such as Kano and Kaduna.
Nwogu’s comments came as he reflected on the strategies employed by President Bola Tinubu during the lead-up to the 2023 presidential elections.
According to the SUN, Chief Nwogu emphasized that Tinubu’s frequent visits to Kano before the presidential campaigns were instrumental in securing substantial support from the region. He encouraged Peter Obi to take a similar approach to foster goodwill and build a broad-based support network.
“I want to see Peter Obi in Kano and Kaduna and other places, to see him in Kano more often, like President Tinubu did before the 2023 elections,” Nwogu stated. “Let me tell you something. You see Tinubu was coming to Kano for every occasion, both personal and official before the presidential campaigns proper. And that assisted him to secure the kind of votes he got from the states.”
Nwogu further advised supporters of Peter Obi to advocate for their principal in a manner that transcends regional, tribal, and religious boundaries. He stressed the importance of inclusivity and respect for all regions and groups in Nigeria to avoid unnecessary controversies and to present Obi as a leader for all Nigerians.
“I will also urge his supporters to continue to win more friends and loyalists for their principal. They should not project him as their own alone but as belonging to all. This is the time to respect other regions, tribes, and religions in Nigeria. They should not allow themselves to be dragged into avoidable controversy with any group or interest, they should remain focused until the time is ripe,” he added..……See More
