He also declared Obi the most credible candidate to lead Nigeria out of the woods.
Udeogaranya said there is a grave need for Nigerians to shun primordial sentiments and vote for the right candidate because “times like these demand patriotism and self-help to make the best decisions for our country Nigeria.”
Nigeria is sliding into anarchy, says Udeogaranya
The former APC presidential aspirant said he was unhappy that Nigeria was sliding into anarchy, with the rights of the citizenry wantonly trampled upon.
“It needs to be emphasised that the Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket of the All Progressive Congress (APC) being imposed on Nigerians is a clear sign of the Islamisation agenda and despotic government that are to come. Indeed, that ticket and those flying it have nothing but deceit to offer," he said.
The former APC chieftain added:
“With regard to what I have noted, and not limited to them all, I, Chief Charles Udoka Udeogaranya, endorse the Labour Party presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi as a worthy candidate to pilot the affairs of Nigeria and help to bring to a halt, the perpetual backsliding of Nigeria and possibly reposition Nigeria for better.”
