“It is a movement to rescue the country from adversity, economic slump, ASUU strike, insecurity and corruption.
“Nigerians have demonstrated readiness to take back their country through the ballot box and it behoves on the INEC to make the votes count.”
Isiguzoro applauded Nigerians for their display of courage and determination in standing for what they deem to be right step as seen in their support of Peter Obi, adding that the tempo should be sustained.
Speaking on the Obi-dients rally held on October 1, the Ohanaeze scribe remarked that it cut across tribe and religious affiliation, adding that it reflects the LP presidential candidate’s growing nationwide acceptance for the number position in the country.
He said that the 18 governors supporting Obi are convinced that he has all it takes to provide quality leadership different from what is obtainable today.
“As we speak, about 18 Governors from the North and the South, cutting across party lines, are behind the scenes putting up structures for Obi to win the 2023 election. In addition, some former Presidents and elder statesmen are in support of Obi’s candidature.
“They are all convinced that Obi has something different from all the other candidates.
“We are glad that for the first time in the recent past, Nigerians are united in the dethronement of misgovernance in Aso Rock. They are determined to make a political change through the ballot box with a third force presidency.
“This is the first time we are seeing such a strong political movement in Nigeria that is not being sponsored by politicians, rather, the masses own the project.
Isiguzoro also called on INEC to do everything possible to ensure that the collective will of the citizens is not truncated through illegality.
