AUSTIN ORETTE REBUKES NDC LEADERS, TELLS PETER OBI TO SEEK RESIDENCE ELSEWHERE
Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) Presidential Candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, was on Friday told to seek residence elsewhere.
‘’Mr. Peter Obi should be made to understand that he has moved to a burning house and he should seek residence somewhere else. The NDC is a setup of corrupt and crooked politicians who are seeking to use his name to seek relevance. He must leave before dawn. This house is on fire’’.
Delta South NDC Senatorial Candidate, Dr. Austin Orette, gave the advice in Owhelogbo, Isoko North Local Government Area.

‘’Show me your friends and I will tell you who you are. Peter Obi must not allow himself to be used to give aroma to the stench that NDC is brewing’’.
Frowning at what he called threat to lives and democratic process, Orette said Nigerians should never grant any iota of legitimacy to reprobates in Abuja.
‘’All the ills from insecurity to perennial poverty are as a result of the corruption of the ballot box as personified by the likes of the NDC leadership. If we are to cure these ills, we must remove these reprobates as leaders in our country’’.
In a statement titled ‘’NDC leadership, corruption and threat to democratic process’’ Orette said the winners of the party’s primaries were being made to suspect ulterior motives on the part of the national officials because of their refusal to release the results.
‘’Whatever decision the leaders of Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) are brewing must never be allowed to stand because it is a conspiracy against the people. Under normal circumstances, primary election results are released and candidates are enabled to start the campaign for the general elections. What the NDC is doing thwarts this process and is counter to logic’’.
He lashed out at the national leaders of the party for constituting themselves into cogs in the wheel of progress in Nigeria.
‘’The leadership of the NDC has become outlaws and has become a criminal enterprise. The leaders must resign. They lack the capacity to lead. No one has the right to keep the citizens in the dark in a democracy. The current leaders of NDC must go. They are anti-democratic. They are everything that Nigeria does not need at this time. They do not have the right to withhold the results of an election’’.
Orette, apparently angry, vowed to expose the wrongdoing of the leaders in court.
‘’What NDC leadership has done is criminal. They have violated the Electoral Act. I will be taking my case to court and the criminality will be established’’.
He said he was not satisfied with the explanation given by the national leaders of the party.
‘’Democracy dies in silence. No one has the right to truncate the will of the people no matter how highly placed. Leaders should be made to understand that they cannot run roughshod over people in a democracy. No one who has behaved the way these folks have done should be allowed to rear their heads near corridors of power in any civilized society. It is the tolerance of this kind of behavior that has made Nigeria the laughing stock of Nations around the world and the most corrupt country in the world’’.
He advised Nigerians not to tolerate criminality in high places.
‘’We should never tolerate criminality in high places. This is why we suffer. This is why a majority of Nigerians think corruption is normal and normalized of the Nigerian existence. These people have continued to violate our sacred obligations to each other. This nullification must not be allowed to stand. Any concession to this brigandage is surrender to perpetual slavery and tyranny under a click who worship at the altar of Baal. It is this process of decadence that brought all the ills we decry today to Nigeria’’.
He also urged the party leaders to divest themselves of the toga of criminality they are wearing.
‘’It is my people who are sending me to Abuja. Abuja has no business to pick a leader contrary to the wishes of my people. All these so-called leaders must divest themselves of the toga of criminality they are wearing. If Peter Obi keeps silent in the face of this tyranny, it means the man in him has died and he has no right to ascend to the presidency. The good people of Delta South people must know this perfidy is the reason why there is no measurable development in our region. All those selected have no allegiance to the people of Delta south. This is why they forget the electorate as soon as they are sworn in. Their loyalty is to their godfathers in Abuja and they want nothing to do with the people of the region until another four years when they come back to resume their Ponzi scheme in the name of another rigged elections’’.
