Atiku’s Presidential Ambition Suffers Setback As Fulani Youths Back #ObiDatti
The ambitions of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar, were dashed yesterday when Fulani Youths in Nigeria unanimously endorsed the Labour Party (LP) standard bearer, Peter Obi, as its preferred candidate in the 2023 election.
During the endorsement in Abuja, the group’s leader, Ibrahim Abdullahi, explained that the country required someone who would be fair to all regions, which Obi represented.
Abdullahi added that backing Obi will help to heal the scars left by the civil war, which killed thousands of people. “Of course, the current president is a relative.”
But we have come to realise that we do not need our own or people you share the same faith with to become the president before your lots improve. We need somebody that is honest.

“We need somebody that is just and fair. When you have that he should come from Jupiter, there is no problem.
“So the Nigerian-Fulani are no longer after tribal, ethnic and religious sentiment. We are looking for a leader that is capable of bringing Nigeria to the promised land.
“We have realised over the years that these two tribes– the Fulani and the Igbo hold 99% of the corporate existence of Nigeria. The Igbo has control of about 80 to 90% of commerce and industry in Nigeria.
“The Fulani man owns 99.99 percent of the animals in this country. And, by extension, we have 99.99% of Nigeria’s protein meat.
“These two organisations have agreed to collaborate for the benefit of Nigerians, and it is the best thing that has ever happened to our country.
It has already been done.
“We have seen how the alliance in the First Republic and therefore we feel that the North and South East which gave prosperity to Nigeria will continue.
“And we have seen that when there was divide, these two extremely important groups suffered as a result of the civil war, which was regrettable.” The scars of the civil war are still seeping.
As a result, we have decided to make peace this time around, despite the fact that we have insulted ourselves.
Meanwhile, former Anambra State Governor Dr Chukwuemeka Ezeife stated the movement of Obi known as ‘Obidients’ was orchestrated by God.
“Our brothers, the youths of Fulani extraction, have now endorsed Peter Obi as the next president of Nigeria,” Ezeife added.
“And when Peter Obi stays there as president for two years, our sons and daughters overseas will begin to think about going back.
“The all-powerful God in heaven has a hand in Peter Obi’s movement. It is not a question of choice. I’m pretty familiar with Peter Obi. Prior to him, I was governor.
“And after I left office, I came to Enugu airport and saw Peter Obi as governor of Anambra State carrying his own luggage. I was surprised. I never carried my luggage.
“My briefcases were carried by people. But he said to me that people’s funds most be used for people’s good. So, he did not want to hire anybody to carry his briefcase; he wanted to use the people’s money for their good.”
He further added that Anambra State Governor Charles Soludo’s comments doubting Obi’s candidature for president were a tactic to mislead people from other regions into assuming that the South East was not for Obi.
“If all Igbos said Peter Obi, Peter Obi, some of you would turn against us because he is our brother.”
He (Soludo) stated it to lure you into thinking that we aren’t all for Peter. It has no significance. If there are 100 of us, 99.9% are for Peter.”
