Aminu Kano Patriots pitch Obi as the most qualified
By Jeph Ajobaju, Chief Copy Editor
Peter Obi is the only one among the major contenders who has the reliable character, capacity, and competence to rescue Nigeria from its dire straits, the Zikist-Aminu Kano Patriots (ZAP) has argued.
ZAP endorsed Obi and appealed to all other Nigerians, regardless of tribe, creed, political leaning, and philosophy, to line up behind him at this critical time of national history.
ZAP Secretary General Steve Igweze made the pitch in a statement issued after the movement’s general meeting in Enugu.
Igweze recounted that before concluding endorsing Obi, members deliberated on the various issues and expectations of Nigerians from the next President to succeed Muhammadu Buhari on 29 May 2023.
“We, therefore, call on eligible Nigerian voters to cast their ballot for the Obi-Datti presidential ticket, come Saturday, February 25, 2023,” he said.
“ZAP carefully assessed the four leading presidential candidates: Sen. Bola Tinubu of APC, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of PDP, Sen. Rabiu Kwankwaso of NNPP, and Mr. Peter Obi of Labour Party.
“ZAP concluded that, without prejudice to tribe or tongue, Peter Obi presents a more reliable character, capacity, and competence to lift Nigeria out of the present cliff-hanger.”

Obi’s pledge to transforming Nigeria
“Peter Obi’s pledge to transform Nigeria from Consumption to Production is realistic, given the truism that not only he invested in Onitsha, Ogun, Abuja, but also that as a stingy person, it is easier for Obi to save our commonwealth for investment,” ZAP said, per reporting by Tribune.
“This virtue is starkly absent in the two other presidential candidates because while one excels as Lagos Tax Collector, the other accumulated wealth as Wharf Tax Collector.
“ZAP deliberated on Obi’s plan to mechanise the swathe of hectares of land in Northern Nigeria for massive agrarian revolution.
“ZAP believes that Obi’s agrarian revolution comes as a seamless continuity of President Buhari’s Agrarian Revolution, evidenced by Anchor Borrowers Programme and Green Imperative Project.”
Igweze explained the position of ZAP aligns with the editorial of The Economist of London which concludes Obi is the best of the four frontline presidential candidates.
“ZAP believes that by the rotation convention of President from North to South and South to North, which birthed the 4th Republic of Nigeria and ensured equity, justice, and fairness, the LP presidential ticket is balanced and captures the demographic quest for youth inclusion in governance.
“Therefore, Obi fits the bill and offers Nigeria a new path to unity, socio-political stability, and economic progress.”
