The Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 presidential election, Peter Obi said that he could have pushed Nigeria forward if the All Progressive Council had picked Vice President Yemi Osinbajo as its candidate.
Obi said this while chatting with some guests at Dele Momodu’s 63rd birthday party in London on Wednesday.
In a 52-second video that went viral on social media platforms, the former Anambra governor said APC leadership should have given Osinbajo a chance if they wanted Nigeria to act progressively. He said he had one time had a conflict with the leadership of the party, on Osinbajo the party’s presidential ticket.
According to him, “I am desperate to see Nigeria working, I can’t hide it. I even confronted them if you want it, why didn’t you bring Osinbajo so that we can have people who want to work for the country?
“Nigeria needs a healthy person and someone like him working 24 hours. Let’s have the place working for everyone,” he added.
