Delta State Governor and Vice Presidential Candidate of the PDP, Ifeanyi Okowa has said that the Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi lacks the requisite experience to lead Nigeria.
While admitting that Obi has experience from being a former Governor, he, however, added that it is not “deep” enough to lead Nigeria.
“I did not say he won’t have any votes, he will have. But what I’m saying is that he’s not a new candidate.
“It has not been long since he left PDP. You know he was in APGA before, from APGA he came to PDP.
” It hasn’t been long since he left (PDP) so he cannot say anything about PDP because that’s where he was before,” he said.
“His (Obi) previous experience is not enough for this one (presidency), it will be hard. His experience is not deep enough.
“Even as a current governor ruling in a time of crisis, I know how hard it is.
” I even want to learn under Atiku because he has experience with the federal government. The thing is not easy.
“For them to have handled the economy at that time and made it something better, offering hope, creating jobs, and filtering the society, was not easy because it’s a bigger thing.
” So someone is supposed to learn through that. If you look at Obi’s experience you’ll know it’s small”, he said.
