Why southeast is supporting Peter Obi, Okeke-Ogene reveals
Speaking further, Okeke-Ogene said the southeast's support for Peter Obi was not for Igbo interest but for the good of Nigerians at large.
His words:
“We don’t want to make our support to Peter Obi an Igbo affair and we are not supporting him because he is an Igbo man.
"Ohaneze support for Peter Obi and Ahmed Datti is for the national interest. Ohaneze is fully in support of the Peter Obi /Ahmed Datti joint ticket. We are fully in support of it “in and out”."
