With only one month to the presidential election, the Coalition for a Better and Brighter Nigeria (CBBN) group and the youth wing of the leading Yoruba socio-political organization, Afenifere, have declared their intention to support Peter Obi of the Labour Party with five million votes.
The above number is a component of the grassroots mobilization for the former governor of Anambra, according to Eniola Ojajuni, National President of Afenifere National Youth Council, who was speaking on Wednesday.
While addressing pressmen in Jos, Plateau State capital, Ojajuni stated that Afenifere’s partnership with CBBN is to strategies on how to ensure Obi emerges victorious in the forthcoming election.
“Afenifere is here to partner with CBBN in terms of how to strategise in the forthcoming election for the victory of his excellency, Mr Peter Obi who is the presidential candidate of the Labour Party.
“Our target in Afenifere is to generate five million votes for him.
“We are doing this through voter education and reaching out to the people to see the need for a new Nigeria which everybody is clamouring for”, he stated.
On his part, the convener of the coalition group, Isa El-Buba said that it was time to save the country as the election is a fight to the finish.
“Nigeria cannot afford to be under Tinubu or Atiku’s presidency because, for the past 62 years, we have not enjoyed good leadership. Nigeria is ready to put a stop to that.
“No amount of their money (Tinubu and Atiku) will help them this time around because Nigerians are wiser.
“Their mountains will crumble and the seed of Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate will overtake them.
“It’s time to save Nigeria, it’s a fight to finish. We must be brave to brace the forces.
“We must get the 40 million votes target to push the Labour Party presidential candidate into victory during the forthcoming election” El-Buba emphasised.
