2023: Ezekwesili Picks Peter Obi over Atiku, Tinubu

Oby Ezekwesili, a former minister of education, gave Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) a better rating than other front-runners for the presidency in 2023.

The former governor of Anambra has advantages that others lack, according to Ezekwesili, who appeared as a guest on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, even though the nation is plagued by ineffective leadership.

“Someone asks you: do you need somebody to tell you where you would be heading between a cast of possible presidents that includes the three frontrunners we currently have—a possible President Tinubu, Atiku, and Obi? An Obi would be it.

Ezekwesili praises the current political system that she claims the LP flagbearer is a part of, but she places Obi higher than other leading contenders.

No matter what, Even though he belongs to the political class we are discussing, he still represents many more shapes than the other two front-runners (referring to Atiku and Tinubu),” she continued.

The majority of Obi’s supporters are young people, which the former minister claimed is evidence that Nigerian politics have evolved.

She also blamed poor leadership for Nigeria’s main issue, claiming that this impeded the nation’s development. But she thinks that the country’s current political awakening, particularly among young people, will change the scene.

“Sometimes, I just try to picture what leadership would look like in the nation if they would just listen to the youth,” she said.

She asserts that the youthful zeal seen during the

The #EndSARS demonstration is a model of what young people can accomplish.

She made her remark just a day after Obi’s supporters marched throughout the nation to show their support for the Labour Party candidate.

The protest was held in London, the UK, Lagos, Edo State, Delta, Kaduna, and other states around Nigeria.
