Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chieftain, a former member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Bitrus Kaze, has called on Nigerians to support and vote Peter Obi, Labour Party candidate because of his competence and justice.

 

Newsonline reports that the former Jos East/Jos South representatives members in the National Assembly, also condemned the choice of Muslim-Muslim tickets by the ruling All Progressive Congress, APC.

 

Hon Kaze said the South-East for the sake of justice and the competence of Peter Obi should be given the needed support by all Nigerians irrespective of party to produce the next president.

 

In an interview with Vanguard, Hon Kaze said his party, PDP, failed in justice by giving the presidential ticket to Atiku Abubakar who is a Northerner.

 

The elder statesman also condemned the APC for trying to fan ethnic tension by fielding Tinubu and Shettima, both Muslims as presidential and vice-presidential candidates for the 2023 general election.

 

“In 2019, I was firmly with Atiku because of Obi, now Obi was forced to leave. If the PDP is ready to take the ticket from the north and give anybody from the South even if it is a dog, I will support it but with the extent that the PDP has infringed its own constitution, how will I be faithful to the PDP constitution.

 

“You can be a diehard PDP or APC, Peter Obi’s movement is raging everywhere, he stands out simply because Nigerians feel that both the PDP and the APC on the Presidential tickets disappointed Nigerians.

 

“The mistake the PDP has done is not the issue of Okowa or Wike, it is the issue of the Presidency, Atiku or anybody from the north ought not to be our candidate. I won’t work for Atiku because it offends our social, religious and even economic sensibilities that somebody from the northwest has been a President for eight years and you expect another person from the northeast and the same religion as the former to be there for another eight years,” the PDP Chieftain said.

Speaking on the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the ruling All Progressive Congress, APC, Hon. Kaze said, “The Muslim/Muslim ticket happened over 30 years ago when I was elected a councilor.

 

Christians tolerated; canvassed votes for Abiola notwithstanding that his Vice was a Muslim. I want to ask you; will there ever be a time in this country that a Christian will run as a President and pick another Christian as a running mate and then we have peace?

 

“Is it proper in a country like ours with several tribes and religions, for a Muslim to be a President for eight years and then you bring up another Muslim, North, West, South, or East to continue as a President in another eight years? As a Christian, I feel short-changed and I will not yield to that because it is not fair.”
