Oye who spoke to journalists on Wednesday, November 10, after APGA's candidate, Charles Chukwuma Soludo, was declared winner of the election, said Obi performed excellently as governor on the platform of the party, The Cable reports.
However, he noted that the spirit of APGA left the 2019 PDP vice presidential candidate when he defected from the party, Punch added.

His words:
“Go to Anambra state, workers are paid every 25th to 27th of the month. No government since Peter Obi till now have failed in that responsibility. Remember that Peter Obi was in APGA, and he performed superlatively when he was in APGA, but the moment he left, the APGA spirit left him, and he never achieved anything ever since.
”If he wants to achieve anything politically, he should come back to APGA. Then we’ll now reignite the APGA spirit in him. That’s how it’s done. Let him continue going from pillar to pole. He cannot achieve anything because APGA gave him a platform, and he took a vow that he’ll never leave APGA until death do them apart.”
