According to him, the votes obtained by the LP during the election were not because of Peter Obi, but rather as a protest vote in response to Nigeria’s apparent difficulties and challeneges.

 

“In all honesty, I did not give the Labour Party a chance to win any election in my state (Ebonyi State) because what we have in place is such that no other political party should be able to win anything, not even the Councilorship election in my state. I saw the vote for the Labour Party as a protest against my party (APC) and the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

 

“I was very surprised; there was even a plot against me within my own family. I was unaware that they voted for Peter Obi, but I do know that they voted for the APC in the other election because of what we’ve done in the state.
