Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s nominee for President in the election for president on February 25, is still the candidate for a better Nigeria, according to former president Olusegun Obasanjo.
Recall that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, pronounced Bola Tinubu, who was the All Progressives Congress’s candidate at the time and is currently the president, to have won the election.
Following the announcement, the opposition parties and their candidates, notably LP and Obi, filed lawsuits to contest the methodology used to select Tinubu as the winner.
President Tinubu was declared the victor of the most recent election, but former president Obasanjo emphasized that Obi is still the candidate the nation needs in a recent interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo.
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.”
