The Edo State Government has publicly downplayed the political significance of Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, asserting he is “the least of our worries” and questioning his readiness for national leadership.
Speaking on Channels Television’s “Morning Brief” on Monday, Paul Ohonbamu, Edo State Commissioner for Information and Communication, stated that Obi poses no credible threat to the All Progressives Congress (APC) within the state.
Ohonbamu argued that the former Anambra State Governor lacks a concrete plan for governance, describing Obi’s political agenda as “vague” and without a clear vision for Nigeria.
He said: “Peter Obi is the least of our worries. APC can’t be threatened because of Peter Obi. Ask him what he will even do when he becomes president, and he’ll simply say, ‘Let me get there first. There is no clear-cut blueprint of what he wants to do.
“Enugu is governed by the PDP and Anambra by APGA. So where is his dominance? Peter Obi is the least of our worries. He’s just struggling in error. I can assure you, his defeat is a fixed deposit.”
