Atiku is my friend but Obi is a better candidate – PDP chieftain, Sampson Orji

A chieftain of the People’s Democratic party, PDP, Sampson Orji has said that Peter Obi of Labour Party is a better candidate than Atiku Abubakar.

Orji revealed this in a statement he made available to the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, on Thursday.

According to him, his preference for Obi is not based on tribe but rather on competence.

“I’m a PDP man till tomorrow, but I will support Obi, not because he is Igbo but because of what he represents. Obi is a movement. My family and friends will vote for him.

“Atiku is my friend, but Obi is a better candidate.

“So, it is blindness to tell me to support Atiku, when we have Obi who has shown competence and capacity to take Nigeria out of the woods”, he said.
