The apex Igbo socio-cultural group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has disclosed that 18 State governors across party lines and former presidents are supporting the candidature of Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
This was contained in a statement issued by the group’s Secretary-General, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, on Wednesday.
The statement however fell short of mentioning the State governors and past presidents.
It read, “As we speak, about 18 governors from the North and South, cutting across party lines, are behind the scenes putting up structures for Obi to be the winner of the 2023 presidential election. In addition, some former Presidents and elder statesmen are in support of Obi’s candidature.
“They are all convinced that Obi has something different from all the other candidates.
“We are glad that for the first time in the recent past, Nigerians are united in the dethronement of misgovernance in Aso Rock. They are determined to make a political change through the ballot box with a third force presidency.

“This is the first time we are seeing such a strong political movement in Nigeria that is not sponsored by politicians, rather the masses own the project.
“You have seen the mass movement across the country and beyond; you have seen even children, persons with special needs, the aged; everyone is part of this movement.”
While saying the governors cut across different political platforms, Isiguzoro added that the All Progressives Congress, the Peoples Democratic Party and other political parties are already afraid of the development.
“This is a movement to take back Nigeria from the days of locusts, greedy and selfish politicians and to rescue the country from adversity, economic slump, insecurity and corruption.
