Former House of Representatives member, Hon Greg Egu, has called on former presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar and the Labour Party former presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi, to shelve their differences and unite for the 2027 election saying they will cause an upstage.

Egu, a former member of the House of Representatives between 1999 and 2003 made the call while addressing Imo journalists at his Umuohiagu country home in the Ngor Okpala local government area of Imo State.

He said the combination of Atiku and Obi on the same team will knock off any other party saying “Atiku and Obi should go and figure themselves out, because if they combine, they will cause an upstage rather than contest separately”.

Egu lamented over what he described as the manner of politics within Nigeria which had moved from quality of character and credibility to financial chest.

“Elections are being rigged and people appointed into positions as against elected. If something doesn’t happen, Nigeria is doomed. The truth is I feel sorry for all of us. It doesn’t matter how much your people love you or how you campaigned.

“People like me won’t contest elections now because you can’t earn your money through the hard way, work hard to campaign, only for someone to mess you up using the system.

“Credibility, character of persons don’t matter anymore to the political class. Party members don’t care about development of the people and communities, they just want to fill their pockets. I believe we should weigh people by their character and not financial chest”, Egu said.

Speaking on Imo politics, the former lawmaker said “Everything in Imo is about absenteeism representation from the Governor to other office holders and I feel sorry for Ngor Okpala people, the state and Nigeria.

“On the Imo charter of equity, I don’t support any charter that was written by a group of people with interest. We as Owerri people must decide what we want and go after it just like Ngor Okpala needs to decide and take a position.

“It’s not for every Owerri person to contest for the same position. Imo is in the hands of game planners but if Owerri people want to produce the next Governor, we should unite because we have the numbers, we are more in population though they (Orlu zone) have more local government areas.
