The Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has revealed that he confronted the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the build up to the presidential election, asking the ruling party why they did not field Vice President Yemi Osinbajo as the presidential candidate for the 2023 election.
According to Obi, Osinbajo is the type of candidate APC should put forward if indeed they have the nation’s interest at heart.
Obi stated this on Tuesday when he stopped by at Dele Momodu’s London home, to celebrate the Ovation Magazine publisher’s 63rd birthday
In the video, which has gone viral, Obi said: “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.”
He further told those present that the person the APC brought out (Tinubu) might have been a great candidate 20 years ago, adding that the country at this hour needs someone who can work round the clock.
