During a visit to Dele Momodu’s London home on Tuesday to celebrate his birthday, Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party revealed that he confronted the All Progressives Congress (APC) about their choice of presidential candidate for the 2023 elections.
Obi expressed his view that the APC should have fielded Vice President Yemi Osinbajo as their candidate if they truly had the nation’s interest at heart.
He emphasized his desire to see Nigeria work and questioned why a candidate like Osinbajo, who could contribute to the country’s progress, was not chosen.
“I’m interested to see Nigeria work, I don’t hide it; any day, anytime.
“I even confronted APC, asking why didn’t you bring Osinbajo, let’s have the place working for everybody, so that we have people who want to work for the country and are healthy and good,” Obi disclosed.
Obi also mentioned that the APC’s chosen candidate (Bola Tinubu) may have been a great candidate 20 years ago, but the country needs someone who can work tirelessly in the present.
