Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s candidate in the election for president on February 25, is still the candidate for a better Nigeria, according to former president Olusegun Obasanjo.
According to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Bola Tinubu, who was the All Progressives Congress’s candidate at the time and is currently the president, was proclaimed the election’s victor. Following the announcement, the opposition parties and their candidates, notably LP and Obi, filed lawsuits to contest the methodology used to choose Tinubu as the winner.
In a recent chat with media personality, Chude Jideonwo, former president Obasanjo insisted that despite President Tinubu being declared as the winner of the last election, Obi remains the candidate that the country needs.
He said, “For the Nigeria that I believe we need to have at this point in time, Peter Obi is still the best candidate.”
On what he considered his greatest legacy, the former president said, “That I came here [earth] and God was immeasurably kind to me and showed His grace on me.”
