Former Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, has said the South East will not vote for the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, in the 2023 election.
Ekweremadu said the South-East couldn’t afford to throw its votes away with Obi, adding that the region would vote for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
He stated this in a short interview with reporters making the rounds on social media.
The federal lawmaker acknowledged that Obi is qualified, but the South East can’t be sentimental with their future.
Ekweremadu said; “I can assure you that the South East will vote for PDP, we ask ourselves if Obi wins the election and the answer is no.
“Can the East afford to throw away our votes and be sentimental about a matter that concerns our people, our children and future? No.
“We don’t intend to do a thing that we will regret in the future but we believe that Obi is qualified.”
