Peter Obi, the Labour Party's nominee for president in the election for president on February 25, is still the candidate for a better Nigeria, according to former president Olusegun Obasanjo.
Rocket Parrot reported that Bola Tinubu, the then-candidate for the ruling All Progressives Congress and current president, had been proclaimed the winner of the election by the Independent National Electoral Commission, or INEC.
Following the announcement, the opposition parties and their candidates, notably LP and Obi, filed lawsuits to contest the methodology used to choose Tinubu as the winner.
President Tinubu was proclaimed the winner of the most recent election, but former president Obasanjo emphasized that Obi is still the candidate the nation needs in a recent interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo.
"Peter Obi is still the best candidate for Nigeria that I believe we need to have at this point in time," he said.
The former president was asked about what he believed to be his greatest accomplishment, and he said, "That I came here [earth] and God was immeasurably kind to me and showed His grace on me."
