The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has described the popularity of the Labour Party’s Presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi as a manifestation of a fresh political order and the desires of Nigerians across all divides, and a nightmare for Nigeria’s treasury looters and adherents of the old political order. According to Ohanaeze, in a statement by its Secretary-General, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, APC and PDP are nervous over the realization that 2023 elections might be difficult for them since Nigerians are tired of their deception and re-cycling of failed politicians. Stating further that Nigerians are now being conscious for the first time to…
