Dele Farotimi, a lawyer and a spokeswoman for the OBIDATTI Presidential campaign committee, responded to a Twitter user who asserted that Peter Gregory Obi, a presidential candidate for the Labour Party, won the South East because he is from the area.
It is no longer news that the labour party presidential aspirant, Peter Gregory Obi, won with a very wide margin in the South East region during the Feb 25th presidential election
The Twitter user, however, took to his page on Monday to state that Peter Obi was able to achieve that because he is from the region.
However, reacting to his claim, Dele Farotimi disagreed with him. He used the election won by some political parties in the past as an example. He said parties like AG, UPN, and AD won elections in the West by large margins because of Awolowo’s capacity
He said the people of the South East embraced Obi because of their knowledge about him.
