EKO HOT BLOG reports that ex-Nigerian President, Olusegun Obasanjo, has openly endorsed the presidential flagbearer of the Labour Party, Peter Obi as his preferred contestant for the 2023 general elections.
Obasanjo made this known in a new year message titled “My appeal to all Nigerians particularly Young Nigerians.”
The former president noted that none of the presidential candidates is a saint, but when compared in terms of knowledge, discipline, and what they can offer, Obi has an edge.
Obasanjo said, “None of the contestants is a saint, but when one compares their character, antecedent, their understanding, knowledge, discipline, and vitality that they can bring to bear and the great efforts required to stay focused on the job, particularly looking at where the country is today and with the experience on the job that I personally had, Peter Obi as a mentee has an edge.
“Others, like all of us, have what they can collectively contribute to the new dispensation to liberation, restoration, and salvaging of Nigeria.
“One other important point to make about Peter is that he is a needle with thread attached to it from North and South, and he may not get lost.
“In other words, he has people who can pull his ears, if and when necessary. He has a young and able running mate with a clean track record of achievement both in public and private life.”
