\n
Following the opposition to the choice of Mr. Peter Obi, as the PDP vice<\/div>\n
\n
presidential candidate in the 2019 electionby some Igbo political leaders;
\nthe Association of South East Town Unions, (ASETU) has said that Obi\u2019s
\npersonality is what Nigeria truly needs in this time of economic crisis to
\nwitness a national rebirth.<\/p>\n

Describing the choice of Mr. Peter Obi as good for the nation, the town
\nunions explained that Obi\u2019s maturity, moderation, integrity and experience
\nwould add value to the PDP ticket.<\/p>\n

In a statement signed by the National President of ASETU, Chief Emeka
\nDiwe, the group disclosed that the entire town unions in the South East
\nare in agreement that Obi, given his sterling performance as governor of
\nAnambra state, would make Nigeria proud.<\/p>\n

“The town union is the strongest grassroots Association in Igbo land. It
\nis the identity of the Igbo land. We are happy with the choice of Mr.
\nPeter Obi as the vice presidential candidate. We are not also in doubt,
\nand so we make bold to say, that in choosing Peter Obi, a new dawn of
\nnational rebirth has commenced, and we will lend our support to it, whole
\nand entire.<\/p>\n

“For an organization like ASETU to endorse Peter Obi means that we have
\nstudied him over the years and found him a fit and proper person to occupy
\nthe revered office of the vice president. He will certainly bring his
\nwealth of experience, integrity, industry, maturity and moderation to bear
\non the office. People like Peter Obi are highly needed at this time of
\neconomic crisis. We have no doubt as a man of excellence; he will bring
\nhis midas touch to the office of the Vice President.\u201d<\/p>\n

“Peter Obi brings something refreshingly different to bear in governance.
\nHe is of the stock of uncompromisingly credible Nigerians, dedicated to
\nrefined values, and his understanding of and commitment to the economic
\ndevelopment of Nigeria will greatly usher in a prosperous Nigeria,” the
\nstatement read.<\/p>\n

The South East town unions urged some Igbo political leaders opposed to
\nObi\u2019s choice to sheath their sword in the overriding interest of the
\ncountry.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
