"If you think I am supporting Peter Obi because he is Igbo, try replacing him with Yemi Osibanjo against Orji Uzo Kalu and see if myself and Igbos won’t massively vote for Yemi Osibanjo."

king_jobi:
"Assuming APC gave Osibanjo their ticket, the choice would have been difficult between him and Obi."
zeev_cosmetics:
"Peter obi is not the first igbo man to contest for election, we've had other igbos contest for election hence, this is not a tribal thing, it's about individual and competence."
gilexmorgan:
"Igbos doesn't look at tribe in business or making a choice in working with someone. Igbos look out for integrity, commitment, trust and honesty."
kenny.flexs:
"If it was to be between Osibanjo and Obi I would definitely not be worried of whoever that’s going to win because a win from any of them would be a win for Nigerians."
ireneexpressions:
"Even T. A Orji compared to Tinibu we fo still manage Tinibu remember not to vote wisely this time....... Vote Peter Obi for president.. we pray we all make it.."
