Damian Okeke-Ogene, National Vice President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has stated that all state governors in the Southeast may support for the Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate in 2023.
Okeke-Ogene made the remark while emphasizing that no one can predict who will be the Southeast’s presidential candidate in 2023.
He did, however, point out that the Southeast wants Obi because he is a Nigerian project, not because he is an Igbo man.

He termed Obi’s national acceptance as the first of its type in the country in a statement.
He pointed out that elder leaders such as Chukwuemeka Ojukwu and Nnamdi Azikiwe never achieved the kind of national acceptability that Obi has.
According to Okeke-Ogene: “Southeast Governors are five persons with five votes. The same way the votes of the governors belong to them.
“They may decide to cast it to Labour Party or elsewhere. Days are gone when one man will say, leave the entire Southeast for me to deliver.
“I perceive the people’s odour and innuendo. They’re not voting for Obi because he’s an Igbo but as a Nigerian project.”
