A political group, Obidients United For Equity, Justice, and Fairness, has accused Peter Obi of unilaterally endorsing Olumide Akpata as the Labour Party’s candidate for the upcoming Edo governorship election, abandoning the principles of internal democracy.
Edobor faulted the selection process, accusing Obi of ignoring the call for justice, equity, and fairness, which had been the foundation of his 2022/2023 presidential campaign. However, in Edo State, they claim Obi has turned a blind eye to these values, endorsing a candidate from Edo South despite calls for the governorship to shift to Edo Central after Governor Obaseki’s eight years in office.
In contrast, the group praised the All Progressives Congress for rectifying a similar issue by holding fresh primaries to ensure regional fairness.
