The South-East and Middle Belt Forum has endorsed the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) Peter Obi, IgbereTV reports
This was the group’s position during a news conference in Abuja on Wednesday. The Chairman of the Forum Olisa Uzowulu noted that the former Anambra State governor ranks higher than all presidential candidates for next year’s exercise.
“We are going to go out there and fight a change. That is why you get the South-East, the Middle Belt, the South-South and the South-West to be one body and campaign for Peter Obi. There is no two-way about it,” he said during the conference.
“The Forum has decided on it. We are going to go out and work for him as a group. There is no choice about that.”
As far as the Forum is concerned, Obi’s support base transcends tribe, religion, and ethnicity as the Chairman said the former governor’s aspiration is people-driven.
