“We’re ready to deliver 5.1m votes to Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the APC from youth constituency in the southeast. “This is in line with our efforts during voters registration where we mobilized young people for it. Calculations has been made and we’re serious about 2023,” the young APC chieftain said.
“The people of southeast are beneficiaries of President Buhari’s leadership goodwill, and thus are ready to support any candidate that will emerge for the nation’s topmost office,” he said.
Obidike noted that despite supporting the PDP over the years, the southeast didn’t get any tangible project from the main opposition party.
