The spokesperson for the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Diran Onifade has said that the comment made by Anambra businessman, Chief Arthur Eze, about the LP flag bearer, Peter Obi is not unexpected.
Naija News recalls that Eze had asked Obi to abandon his presidential bid as Ndigbo had other plans for now and in the future.
Reacting to Eze’s submission during a telephone interview with Vanguard on Tuesday in Abuja, Onifade stated that it is the influence of people like Eze they would like to take their politics away from.
The LP spokesman, who made it clear that he was expressing his personal opinion on the subject, said that when LP finally succeeds in taking power from the Peoples Democratic Party and the All Progressives Congress, politicians like Eze would lose the influence they have.
According to him, “It is the influence of people like that that we want to take our politics away from.
“He is part of the establishment and structure that young Nigerians what to take our country back from.
“When we take power from the Peoples Democratic Party and the All Progressives Congress, the likes of Arthur Eze will no longer wield the kind of influence they enjoy today.
“You don’t expect them to take this lying down. Our candidate and our campaign remain focused on the take ahead which is to take back our country, rebuild it to make it take its proper place in the comity of nations.“
