The National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement, Yunusa Tanko, has opined that Nigerians are yearning for the Labour Party (LP) 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, to become the president because he is a valuable asset.
Bellnews reports that Tanko made this known during an interview on Arise Television’s ‘Prime Time’ programme.
According to him, Peter Obi will soon announce the party he will be contesting in the 2027 general elections.
He said, “A lot of people are waiting for Peter Obi to make a decision on which party he will be contesting through.
“That means he is wanted in Nigeria and even around the world. That is a valuable asset. So, we will let Obi let the cat out of the bag by himself.
“He has made it clear that he is working very closely with a coalition. Obi is a team player, and everyone will be happy with his decision.
“And like when he was on the media space, he made it clear that he has been part of a coalition, and that coalition has produced a political party. So he’s working very close with that coalition. He has been part of it. He has contributed to it.
“So, whenever he wants to make his own pronouncement, it is going to be something that everybody will be glad and be happy about, because he is a team player who believes that Nigeria must be free because we are suffering so much at the expense of people who do not have good intention toward this country.
“So His Excellency, Mr Peter Obi will make his pronouncement very soon.”
