JUST IN : People Should Stop Coming to TV Stations and Insisting That the North Won’t Support Obi—Peter Ameh

Peter Ameh, the former Chairman of IPAC, expressed in an interview on Arise TV that for Nigeria to move forward, people need to stop coming on live TV to say that the North will not support Obi. Ameh’s statement came in response to a claim by Kenneth Okonkwo, who stated that it would be better for the coalition to adopt a Northerner as their presidential candidate rather than Peter Obi. Ameh also added that he is from Kogi State, which is in the North, and he fully supports the coalition adopting Peter Obi.

In his words, “The best option for a country like ours to move forward is for people to stop coming to TV stations and insisting that the North will not support Obi. That is wrong. I am from the North; I am from Kogi State. What part of the North is he talking about?”
