PDP topshot, Chief Chris Uba has taken ex-Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State to the cleaners: “I am blaming Peter Obi for the PDP’s loss in Anambra guber election.”

“The candidate of the PDP in governorship election, Obaze is not known to the founding members of the party in the state. Obi brought him and foisted him on everybody.”
“It’s because of this impunity that Obiano won this election. My heart is bleeding that we lost this election again. Anambra State is a PDP state, yet each time we will lose to strangers.”
“How is it that each time, a party somebody is nurturing will be hijacked by strangers some months to the election? Obi has not won any election without my input. Why did he bring a foreigner to represent us in this election? That is the cause of this loss.”
“He caused us that problem and (Goodluck) Jonathan lost that election. PDP should stop this impunity. Some of those governors that came here to campaign for the PDP here could not have been governors without my input. Why didn’t they ask after me when they came here to campaign?”
“Obi must apologise to the PDP members in Anambra State for leading them into an inglorious outing at the poll. Obi doesn’t have the capacity to make Obaze or anybody a governor without my input. Obi has killed this party. This is an election we would have won with a wide margin. Obi carried what he could not control.”
“My heart is bleeding. We lost this election by coming distant third. In such a large party, you don’t use it to settle scores. Obi came into the PDP to settle scores with Obiano, his former ally. That was our bane in this election.”
“Obi should apologise to the PDP in five national dailies for this disappointment he caused us. Failure to apologise, I know what to do. In 2003, I helped the PDP to produce Dr. Chris Ngige as governor; we produced three senators and 11 House of Representatives members in that election. That was the last victory PDP enjoyed in this state.”
