Omoyele Sowore, presidential candidate of the African Action Congress AAC has hit out at the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, adding that he is unfit for the presidency.
In a television interview on Friday, Sowore dismissed Obi’s stint as governor, saying that Obi never built a school or industry.
“Why would I see Peter Obi as a threat? Peter Obi is part of the old system that I have always fought,” he said.
“I understand where he is coming from. This is 1999 repeated; Nigeria wants change.
” Some young people who are genuinely interested in change are presented with somebody who works for the establishment; someone who was in PDP, APGA, came back to PDP and then LP.
“He is not new to a rotten system — somebody who spent eight years as governor of a state.
“You can be emotional about it but that is the truth. He did not build any school, industry and power station. He is not my kind of progressive.
“Anybody who has been in government for eight years that has nothing to show for it is not my right candidate for Nigeria”, he added.
