The Ohanaeze Ndigbo group led by Chidi Ibeh has advised Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s (LP) presidential candidate, to exercise prudence in his relationships with Atiku Abubakar and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP).
In a statement released by the group’s Secretary General, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, in Abakaliki, he said that working with President Bola Tinubu would be more advantageous than the course he is now on.
The Labour Party has dismissed the idea that the group is considering forming a coalition to oppose the All Progressive Congress (APC), according to Anaedoonline.ng.

However, reacting to the issue, the group said, “There is possibility of collapse in their talks because Nigerians will not accept Atiku or Kwankwaso as leaders of an alliance. Nigerians know that the uncharitable disposition and desperation of Atiku Abubakar will never allow him to support Peter Obi to become leader of the opposition.
“The ill-fated journey of Atiku, Obi, and Kwankwaso will crumble in the future. Nigerians are warning the presidential candidate of LP to be wary of failed politicians, whose interest is looking for a way to exploit the credibility and popularity of Obi to see how to depose President Bola Tinubu.
“Nigerians are keenly watching the latest attempt of drowning politicians to use Obi to wrestle power from the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the future. The indelible stain of such alliance talks, among Atiku, Kwankwaso, and Obi, will destroy Peter Obi if he, Obi, decides to play second fiddle.

“Ohanaeze cautions Obi that association with Atiku and Kwankwaso will destroy him, except if the two support him to lead a unified opposition political party, which is unlikely.
“Peter Obi should work alongside Tinubu than the duo of Atiku and Kwankwaso, or stand independently. Peter Obi will lose the support from Nigerians if he plays second fiddle in the future. Ndigbo urges him to pull out of the alliance talks.”
