The Labour Party’s (LP) candidate for president in the most recent election, Peter Obi, is not the kind of leader Nigeria needs, according to activist Deji Adeyanju.
Some Nigerians have made remarks implying that Peter Obi ought to seek the president once more in 2027.
However, Adeyanju stressed the need for a strong leader during an appearance on the podcast “The Honest Bunch” and made it seem as though Peter Obi did not meet this requirement.
Obi was, in his words, “just a decent and nice guy.”
He stated that the African Action Congress’s (AAC) previous presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, embodies the kind of leader that Nigerians require.
He said, “You don’t need a Peter [Obi]. Peter is just a decent guy, nice guy… Nigeria needs somebody that the idea of him coming alone, they [corrupt people] have already run away.
“Because the bad eggs in the system, in the police, army and civil service, they need somebody that would teach them a lesson for their bad behaviour. And right now there’s no such person.
“If someone like Omoyele Sowore by divine providence becomes President; before he is sworn in, Nigeria will empty. All the politicians will run away.
“[Former Head of State] Abdulsalami Abubakar said it during a peace accord. He said, ‘Sowore, if you enter [the presidency], all of us are finished.”
