A group, Diaspora Nigerians in New England, United States of America has vowed to mobilize for the victory of Mr. Peter Obi, the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate in the 2023 polls.

The coordinator, Alhaji Mohammed Ighile who was home in Benin City, Edo State recently said that the group is determined to support Obi because of his prudent management of Anambra State resources when he was governor.

The coordinator said that the LP presidential candidate is a better choice than the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Senator Bola Tinubu and his People’s Democratic Party (PDP) rival, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar because he has not attracted the attention of the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC).

Ighile, a pro-democracy activist and close ally of the Nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka during the dark days of military dictatorship remarked that his interest and that of his colleagues stems from a deep interest in the affairs of Nigeria and patriotism.

He said: “The interest of this group of Nigerians in the diaspora in the United States is altruistic. We are not seeking for anything except good governance. After a careful x-ray of the candidates of the two major parties, we determined that Obi has the best qualities to steer Nigeria out of this present state of hopelessness.”

He added that the choice
of the ex-Anambra State governor is also due to the fact that the two major political parties, the APC and the PDP have failed woefully in turning around the fortunes of the country since the return to democratic rule in 1999.

Ighile noted that LP as a third force, represents a fresh breathe of air which should be given the opportunity to take over the reins of power in 2023.

Determined to actualize their ambition, he added that one Mr. Ben Ekhator has been appointed by the group as the head of the contact and mobilization committee, adding that the association intends to embark on a fundraiser for Obi.
