Governor of Delta state and PDP Vice Presidential candidate, Ifeanyi Okowa, has said that the Labour Party Presidential Candidate Peter Obi, does not have the experience to rule Nigeria.
Okowa shared this thought during an interview with BBC Pidgin. He said;
โI did not say he wonโt have any votes, he will have. But what Iโm saying is that heโs 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 hasnโt been long since he left (PDP) so he cannot say anything about PDP because thatโs where he was before.
โSome of us are still here. At every party, there are good people and bad people. But todayโs Nigeria is very troubled and we need the right person. That is why I am appealing to our youths to be wise and vote well, they should not be blinded by the concept of a false change because that is how they raved on Jonathan in 2015.
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 itโs a bigger thing. So someone is supposed to learn through that. If you look at Obiโs experience youโll know itโs small.โย he said.
