<\/p>\n

The Director-General of the Voice of Nigeria, Mr. Osita Okechukwu has queried the choice of Peter Obi as the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar\u2019s running mate.<\/p>\n

Okechukwu, who is also APC Chieftain said that the Atiku\/Obi ticket was basically driven by a promise to restructure the country as well as to do one term in office which cannot be trusted.<\/p>\n

He warned Nigerians not to fall to the restructuring sentiments, adding that APC will serve the interest of Nigerians better.<\/p>\n

Okechukwu stressed that though the choice of Obi was a great one but the zone needed to know that \u2018all that glitters is not gold\u2019.<\/p>\n

Okechukwu told NAN: \u201cEven the zone that the PDP presidential candidate hails from is opposed to restructuring. So how will he achieve it?<\/p>\n

\u201cEven the commitment to serve for one term is not tenable and we still believe that the interest of the South East is better served in APC.<\/p>\n

\u201cElectorates from the zone should not be carried away by the antics of the opposition, as the South East would have a grip of the presidency in 2023 under the APC.\u201d\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
