He said Obiano was busy spending money he should have used to develop the state on electioneering as he canvassed for Oseloka Obaze, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

According to Obi, a governor who refuses to perform in his first term, should not be allowed to win a return ticket.

“When we tell people that his (Obiano) poor performance in office is not enough to get him re-elected, they boast that they have money to buy all the votes needed to win.

“To that I say, Mr Willie Obiano came to this state with nothing, so the money he is sharing is the money he would have spent on our roads, schools, hospitals, invested in social welfare and addressed several unmet needs of our society.

“If they give you money, collect it, it is our money. But after that, cast your votes based on conviction.

"While you do that, please remember that the future of our children and children’s children is at stake.

NAIJ.com earlier reported that Peter Obi recently confessed to having the wrong choice for successor.
