Yesterday, Prince Arthur Eze, an Anambra-born business billionaire, condemned Obi’s ambition to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari as Nigeria’s next president in 2023.

While speaking at the 2022 Ofala festival of HRH Igwe (Dr.) Robert Eze, the traditional ruler of Ukpo in the State’s Dunukofia local government area, Eze stated that he warned Obi to drop his ambition, but he refused to listen.

According to Eze, he also advised Obi to wait for next time when he gave a list of the number of states he thought he would win.

His words:

“I warned Peter Obi to withdraw from this race but he would not listen. I told him plainly that I am not part of his plans. I told him to drop his ambition, and wait for next time.

“When he told me about his ambition, I asked him the states he thinks he can win in the west and in the north – he told me; but I was not convinced. I told him he cannot not win; so that he would not waste his time and money.”
