Former Enugu State governor Chimaroke Nnamani has declared that Labour Party (LP) candidate Peter Obi lacks the requisite ingredients to become Nigeria’s president.
Nnamani, a Senator from Enugu East, believes the former Anambra governor lacks national appeal to run for president.
In a series of tweets on Monday, he made this known via his verified Twitter profile.
Obi’s petition, he argued, is dead on arrival because he lacks the reach and national appeal.
Nnamani added that Obi should allow for discussion on behalf of the Igbos for a stake at the national level.
He said: “Obi knows he has neither spread nor national appeal to win the presidential election, what Obi is doing with the petition is trying to demarket Tinubu,” Nnamani said.
“His petition is dead on arrival, he does not have the spread or national appeal. His appeal to non-electoral matters is to demarket the president-elect and damage his reputation.
“He does not have near spread and national appeal, the petition is ego-driven and a joke carried too far.
“His attempt to highlight on non-electoral issues is trying to embarrass the president-elect,” he added.
