In a recent online video that quickly gained traction on social media, Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 election, expressed his belief that the All Progressives Congress (APC) missed a significant opportunity by not presenting Vice President Yemi Osinbajo as their candidate.
Obi made these remarks during a pleasant exchange with guests at Dele Momodu’s 63rd birthday celebration in London. His comments shed light on his vision for Nigeria’s progress and his admiration for Osinbajo’s capabilities.
“I am desperate to see Nigeria working, I can’t hide it,” Obi exclaimed, capturing his passion for a functional Nigeria. He then expressed his frustration to the APC leadership, stating, “If you want Nigeria to work as a progressive country, they should have just given Osinbajo the party’s presidential ticket.”
Obi’s suggestion was rooted in his belief that Osinbajo’s work ethic and dedication were crucial for the nation’s advancement.
By advocating for Osinbajo as the candidate, Obi stressed the need for a healthy and committed individual who could work tirelessly for the betterment of Nigeria.
He emphasized, “Nigeria needs a healthy person and someone like him working 24 hours. Let’s have the place working for everyone.” Obi’s statement highlights the potential benefits that could have arisen if Osinbajo had been given the opportunity to lead.
