The Peoples Democratic Party, or PDP, was forewarned about the “Peter Obi effect,” according to Abia State Governor Okezie Ikpeazu.
Ikpeazu said this while admitting that before the election, he foresaw the Obi impact.
Obi left the PDP for the Labour Party, LP before the presidential election.
Obi dumped the PDP before the party’s presidential primary.
Since he joined LP, Obi has become a household name among Nigerians who believed he should be the next president.
However, Ikpeazu, in a statement he signed, said: “That Peter Obi effect, I predicted it and told my party. I even volunteered that reasonable politicians should not ignore what Peter Obi was doing.
“What would happen going forward will be determined by how Peter Obi manages the groundswell of support that he had gathered.
“How is he going to funnel this towards an agenda that can eventually materialise in his dream?”
