The governor who would hand over to a new administration in the state come May 29, 2023, revealed this when he appeared onUmahi said he did not know that his family members voted for the candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, during the presidential election.
He said people voted for Obi because of the hardship they were facing, describing the scenario as protest votes. “In all honesty, I didn’t give any chance to the Labour Party to win any election in my state because what we had put in place was such that no other political party should be able to win anything, not even councillorship elections in my state. I see the Labour Party vote as a protest against my party; against the Peoples Democratic Party.
“I was very surprised; even in my family, there was a conspiracy against me. I did not know that they voted for Peter Obi, but in the other election, they voted for the All Progressives Congress because of what we’ve done in the state. It’s very surprising.
