BREAKING: Former President Obasanjo Officially Supports Peter Obi For 2023 Presidency, Blasts Tinubu

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has officially endorsed the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, as his candidate for the 2023 election.

Obasanjo said this in his New Year message made available to newsmen on Sunday.

According to Obasanjo, Obi has the edge over every other candidate in the race, saying he has people to call him to order when there is the need for that.

On the other hand, former president Obasanjo blasts the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Ahmed Tinubu for saying “emi lokan”, a Yoruba words which translates to “its my turn’.

Obasanjo said it’s wrong attitude and mentality for someone in Nigeria to say “Emi Lokan”.

In a letter on Sunday, Obasanjo said: “Let me say straight away that ‘Emi Lokan’ (My turn) and ‘I have paid my dues’ are one and the same thing and are wrong attitude and mentality for the leadership of Nigeria now.”

Those claims, according to Obasanjo, “cannot form the new pedestal to reinvent and to invest in a new Nigeria based on an All-Nigeria Government for the liberation and restoration of Nigeria.”

Obasanjo said no individual can claim he has the absolute solutions to Nigeria’s problems, stating that “the solution should be in ‘we’ and ‘us’ and not in ‘me’ and ‘I’.”

Recall that the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, had claimed that he was the next person to become the President of Nigeria, saying, “Emi Lokan” in English meaning “It is my turn.” Tinubu said in Abeokuta in April last year during his campaign for APC presidential primary election.
