A former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili, has ranked
Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) higher than other leading presidential
candidates for the 2023 election.
Ezekwesili disclosed this while fielding questions on
Channels TV’s Sunday Politics.
Her comment is coming on the heels of recent massive rallies
held by Obi’s supporters in several parts of the country to mobilise support
for the Labour Party man.
The rallies held in Lagos, Edo State,
Delta, Kaduna, other States across Nigeria, and London, the United Kingdom.
The former minister said Obi, one-time a governor of Anambra
State, possesses what others do not have, even as the country suffers from poor
leadership.
“Somebody says to you, between a cast of possible presidents
that include the three frontrunners that we currently have – a possible
President Tinubu, Atiku, and Obi – do you need anybody to tell you where you
would be going? It would be an Obi.
“Regardless of the fact that he comes from that particular
political class that we are talking about, he still at least represents many
more shapes than the other two top candidates (in reference to Atiku and
Tinubu),” she added.
She also lamented the country’s leadership problem, adding
that the country has recorded stunted growth as a result of it.
However, she acknowledged that the current political
awakening in the country, especially among youths, will alter the landscape.
