High Chief Lolo Iyom Josephine Ezeanyaeche, a 104-year-old woman and Chairman Emeritus of “The Voice for Senior Citizens of Nigeria”, also known as Mama Africa, has declared her support for the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi, and his running mate, Datti Baba-Ahmed. She made this declaration during her visit to the Labour Party office in Abuja.
Mama Africa believes that Obi and Datti have the capability of making Nigeria an investment hub. She endorsed Obi as the next President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria because he is qualified as the number one out of the four major contestants. She explained that the selection of Obi was nationally oriented and accepted for his visionary leadership, integrity, transparency, competence, capacity, character, selflessness, enlightenment, education, nationalism, and globally acclaimed.
According to Mama Africa, if Obi and Datti are elected, they will fix the economy and create jobs. She believes that if the economy is fixed, it will be easier to tackle insecurity, fight corruption and improve the social well-being of the people. Mama Africa is convinced that Obi will passionately undertake major constitutional changes that will bring about the devotion of power, fiscal federation, and entrenching of good governance and rule of law.
Mama Africa noted that Obi has a great opportunity to change the course of the country’s future for good, and she is confident that he has the character, competence, and capacity to do so, based on his previous achievements and performances. She also believes that Obi would unite the people of Nigeria in all ramifications to make Nigeria one united family.
Mama Africa expressed her conviction that Nigerians are long yielding for the younger generation to take the mantle of leadership to rescue her from her current predicament
