Peter Obi has been urged by the Ohanaeze Ndigbo to support President Bola Tinubu rather than Atiku Abubakar and Rabiu Kwankwaso, the candidates from the Peoples Democratic Party and New Nigeria Peoples Party, respectively.
Okechukwu Isiguzoro, the Secretary-General of Ohanaeze, claimed in a statement on Monday that the coalition would fail immediately because Nigerians would reject Kwankwaso or Atiku.

Any combination that aims to endanger Tinubu’s administration will fall short, according to Isiguzoro.
He continued by saying that because Atiku is so eager to become president, Nigerians are well aware that he will never back Obi in his bid to become the leader of the opposition.
The statement partly reads, “Peter Obi, Atiku, and Kwankwaso’s plan to take power from APC is not only a pipe dream but satanic. The apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, insisted that the ongoing reported talk between the opposition political party leaders is a welcome development as it will put the APC-led Federal Government on its toes to ensure that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration delivers all the campaign promises to Nigerians.
“But anything contrary to these is regarded as the inconsiderate pursuits of drowning politicians whose aims are satanic, mischievous, but laughable. Ohanaeze Ndigbo observed that there is the possibility of a collapse in their talks because Nigerians will not accept Atiku or Kwankwaso as the leaders of the alliance.
“Nigerians know that the uncharitable disposition and desperation of Atiku Abubakar of the PDP will never allow him to support Peter Obi to be the leader of the Nigerian opposition; the ill-fated journey of Atiku, Obi, and Kwankwaso will crumble in the future.”
