Alex Obiechina, the spokesperson for the North, Middle Belt, and South Support Groups for Peter Obi (NMBSSG4O), has claimed that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential nominee, Atiku Abubakar, is being duped by old-school politicians in the southeast area.
He claimed that PDP leaders in the southeast region are old-school politicians who are simply giving Atiku false optimism because of their own self-interest in appointing posts or contracts.
According to Newsmen, Obiechina made the claim during a news conference in Abuja.

Unlike the old folks pushing for the PDP flag bearer in the region, he says his principal, Peter Obi, has youths and women advocating for him who believe Nigeria needs urgent change. As a result, Atiku has no chance of winning any state in South east.
Obiechina stated that, contrary to popular belief, Obi will be elected on the first ballot in next Saturday’s presidential election.
The Labour Party chieftain “Any politician from the Southeast, who is telling you that they are giving Atiku any vote, they are just deceiving Atiku. This is not 2019. Besides, Peter Obi’s personal charisma, his morality, past record and articulation of Nigeria’s problems and need to move from consumption to production, have galvanized Nigerians from all parts.
“These are things that would make Obi emerge President from the first ballot on February 25. From my analysis and from the reports we are getting, the political trends and the major determinants of who will emerge as the winner of the coming election, all favour Peter Obi.

“Majority of those who vote are youths and the women, there is almost 80 per cent of the population at any election. The other 20 per cent is left for the men, who hardly come to vote. The fact that youths are championing Peter Obi’s campaign, shows in their determination and belief that there is an urgent need for change.
“Peter Obi’s election represents the push for a generational change, which is within the aspiration of the youths. Peter Obi meets the aspirations, hopes and wishes of most Nigerians.”
