Peter Obi Won That Election And He Was Denied, I’m Not Afraid To Say So- Jonathan
An ex- President of the Southern Kaduna Peoples’ Union (SOKAPU), Dr. Jonathan Asake has expressed his opposition to the way Nigeria’ s economic reforms were handled under President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’ s administration, noting that the nation has not yet seen tangible results from the savings gained from the removal of the fuel subsidy. According to Dr. Jonathan Asake, the claims that the reforms are resulting in positive outcomes are not sincere.
The Labour Party (LP) candidate for the 2023 Kaduna State governorship election, Dr. Jonathan Asake, addressed the North’ s resistance to the proposed tax reforms and called it a manifestation of laziness. In order to regain power, he advised the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to give priority to a presidential candidate from the South East in 2027.
In response to the promises made by the current administration, Dr. Jonathan Asake said- ” Was it the type of thing Nigerians expected when the then- incoming government had promised them renewed hope? To be very frank, nobody was even expecting this same government to come on board. Nigerians expressed their franchise clearly, and they voted massively for the leader they believed would take Nigeria out of the doldrums, and that is Mr. Peter Obi of the Labour Party. ”
Dr. Jonathan Asake continued- ” For the first time in this country, the common Nigerian masses came together and expressed their desire to change the order of the day. Nigerians wanted a change because of the continuous suffering, exponential inflation, and insecurity under the Buhari- led APC administration. ”
Dr. Jonathan Asake stated that Peter Obi was the actual candidate for the 2023 presidential election, but he was disqualified by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Dr. Jonathan Asake claimed that INEC was delaying the will of the people, stating, ” INEC deliberately denied him that victory; they denied the Nigerian people who voted massively for him. That was a leader with a clear foresight of where he wanted to take Nigeria. ”
Dr. Jonathan Asake drew attention to the lack of production capacity in the country’ s economic strategy. ” Unless Nigeria becomes a country that produces, we cannot get anywhere. If we keep importing and consuming goods we don’ t produce, while failing to produce for export, then we are going nowhere, ” he said.
Dr. Jonathan Asake concluded by expressing his dissatisfaction with the governance in Nigeria: ” Nigerians knew they were putting up with a government that was highly insufficient and incapacitated. They voted for change but didn’ t get the result they wanted. ”
