Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki has said Nigerians are now ‘Obidients’ as they no longer want the two main political parties, All Progressives Congress (APC) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), ahead of the 2023 elections.
Obaseki stated this during a meeting of PDP members in Benin City on Monday.
According to the governor, the teeming population of young people across the country have aligned themselves with the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
He said; ”The future of our politics in this country is changing. I don’t know whether you’ve observed. The level of disenchantment with the ruling parties. I’m sure in all our homes here, we have so many people now who call themselves “Obidients.”
“I don’t know if you have them in your house. Just ask them which party are you? They’ll say “Obidient.” They don’t want us. They are not talking about APC or PDP. They are looking for alternatives.”
He added; “And you see them, they are much much more. You see all of them queuing for their PVCs. If we don’t curb this and if we don’t make our party attractive, I don’t know what will happen in the next election.”
