A member of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Ogbeide Ifaluyi-Isibor, has declared his support for the Labor Party Presidential candidate Peter Obi, while still claiming to be a member of the PDP.
Ifaluyi-Isibor, a former member of the House of Representatives believes that Peter Obi is the messiah that the country has been waiting for and has thrown his support behind the politician.
The politician said “I’m a member of the PDP and glad to be a member of the PDP but I am one that is very ‘Obidient’.
Ifaluyi-Isibor, who at a time was the Director of Mobilisation, Nigeria Diaspora Youth Coalition for Peter Obi, disclosed on Arise TV, that he was not blinded by party loyalty, noting that he did not need to belong to the Labour Party to support its presidential candidate.
“We cannot continuously pretend that all is well and because I am a member of the PDP, then whoever the PDP candidate is, then you must support. That is not how democracy plays out in other developed economies. There are members of the Democrat Party who support Republican candidates and vice-versa. So, it is about the capacity, the competence and the capability of the individuals”, he said.
