Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former presidential aspirant, Pat Utomi, has claimed two former Heads of State are supporters of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi.<\/p>\n

Utomi stated this while speaking at a town hall meeting on Friday, organised by the Yell Out Nigeria for Good Governance in Abuja.<\/p>\n

He, however, did not reveal the names of the ex-Heads of State.<\/p>\n

But Utomi noted that they were ready to work for Obi, to ensure he becomes the next president of Nigeria.<\/p>\n

According to him, the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) don\u2019t have strong structures like the LP.<\/p>\n

\u201cMoney alone does not win elections. Two former heads of state have said to me they are Obidients.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of people want to join the movement without joining the Labour Party to ensure Peter Obi and Baba-Ahmed win, so they can capture our country back from those who have held us down.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe LP has better structures than PDP and APC.<\/p>\n

\u201cTheir structure is a criminal network of people who can fix elections. We have to stop that; that is not structure,\u201d Utomi said.<\/p>\n
