Peter Obi Dismisses Fears of South East Political Capture Amid Defections
Former Governor Peter Obi, a potential 2023 presidential candidate for the Labour Party, has spoken out against concerns of the South East region being captured by political parties following recent defections. He stressed that political power should be in the hands of the people, not the political elite.
Obi's remarks come amid growing political unease due to defections by opposition governors and lawmakers to the APC. The Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah, recently defected from the PDP to the APC.
Obi highlighted the importance of focusing on policies that directly improve citizens' lives and warned that political realignment without performance cannot secure lasting support.
