The south west campaign coordinator for Peter Obi of the labour party, Chief Sola Ebiseni has described the Senator representing Ondo South Senatorial District, Nicholas Tofowomo, as suffering from what he described as power-exit phobia syndrome.
Ebiseni who is also the Secretary General of the Afenifere was reacting to a statement by Tofowomo that the Labour Party is not in the Presidential election because it has no structure, said the Senator was merely seeking attention towards the end of his lacklustre and uneventful presence in the upper chamber of the National Assembly.
Speaking to Journalists in Akure, Ebiseni continued “if you were not from Ondo State, would you have known anyone is in the Senate called Tofowomo? How can any serious politician describe the overwhelming support of Nigerian youths for the Labour Party and its Presidential ticket as non-existent or regard the youths as inconsistent saying they are so flexible that their convictions would change between 8 and 9 0’clock.
Tofowomo has suddenly forgotten that Labour Party did not have even a Councillor when it won the Governorship of Ondo State in 2009 in which Government he was invited from abroad to be a two term Commissioner.
The interview was bereft of logic and deficient in intellectual depth. How can anyone say State Police in Nigeria will be under the Inspector General of Police and continually cited United Kingdom’s unitary system as template for the Nigerian federation on internal security. Tofowomo is an inconsequential distraction.
