Following reports of alleged opposition to the emergence of a former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, as the running mate to the Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate for the 2019 election, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, a pan-Igbo sociopolitical pressure group, the South East Revival Group, described the purported move by some leaders in the region as “selfish and counterproductive”.

The party said this draconian step is clearly targeted at members of the opposition parties, perceived political enemies of President Muhammadu Buhari, well-meaning Nigerians, including members of the business community, religious leaders, former political leaders and traditional rulers, who are perceived to be averse to the President’s re-election bid.
