A veteran journalist and Chief Executive Officer of Arise TV, Ijeoma Nwogwuwgwu has criticised Labour Party’s Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi for meeting with Governor Nyesom Wike in London.
This paper reported that Obi with former President Olusegun Obasanjo met Wike’s camp in London a few days ago.
However, Nwogwuwgwu was disappointed by Obi’s meeting with the others, noting that he who “tried to sell himself as distinct from the rest, is no different.”
She noted this while also condemning Tinubu and his group meeting with Wike’s PDP camp in London, and PDP Presidential aspirant, Atiku Abubakar’s meeting with Wike and his men to settle their differences.
The journalist again wondered why those meetings weren’t held in Nigeria and concluded that the politicians were similar.
“It is really disheartening that Nigerian politicians are jetting thousands of miles away to negotiate possible alliances. Couldn’t these meetings have all been held back home? More significantly, Peter Obi who has tried to sell himself as distinct from the rest, is no different.
At the end of the day, it’s all about self-interest and not what is best for Nigeria. Sometimes, I often wonder why we kill ourselves and lose precious sleep over these politicians. They’re all the same…. Selfish, desperate, insincere, lying bunch,” she said.
