Speaking at a press conference on Friday, Kachikwu claimed that former President Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly offered Obi the position of Coordinating Minister of the Economy if he steps down from the race and supports Jonathan’s own presidential ambition.
According to Kachikwu, some northern elites have brought Jonathan into the race as part of a strategy to weaken the South, telling Obi that he cannot win northern votes because he is Igbo.
“In order to weaken the South, they have now drafted former President Jonathan into the race, allegedly offering Peter Obi the role of Coordinating Minister of the Economy in exchange for his support,” Kachikwu said.
He accused former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and certain northern power brokers of exploiting divisions based on region, religion, ethnicity, and poverty to sway millions of poor northerners into believing that President Bola Tinubu—and by extension southern leaders—are to blame for their economic hardship.
Kachikwu alleged that deliberate misinformation is being spread daily, not just against Tinubu, but against any potential southern presidential aspirant. “Peter Obi has been told in clear terms that he will never get northern votes as an Igbo man, and should instead accept being Atiku’s running mate,” he stated.
He urged Nigerians to reject what he described as Atiku’s divisive politics, calling for fairness and sincerity in nation-building.
“We must all come to equity with clean hands and sincerity of purpose. You don’t burn down your house to kill rats and cockroaches—sometimes you just need to clean it, and they will leave on their own,” he concluded.
