The Labour Party presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi has
reacted to reports that the former President, Olusegun Obasanjo is working with
stakeholders in the north to ensure he succeeds President Muhammadu Buhari in
2023.

Nigerian Peoples Party, NNPP, Mahdi Shehu on Tuesday alleged that Obasanjo has
been meeting with the leadership of the Northern Elders Forum, campaigning for
Obi.

said Obasanjo recently visited prominent personalities in the North, stressing
that he is “mobilizing the Northern Elders Forum and the entire northerners to
Obi project”.
According to Shehu, Obasanjo promised the elders that they
would be part of the government if Obi is elected president.
“Obasanjo has suddenly woken up from his slumber to support
Obi”, he added.
Reacting, Mr Obi while featuring on Arise TV morning show on
Wednesday, said “there is nothing wrong for Obasanjor to sell my candidacy”.
