A constitutional lawyer, Kayode Ajulo, said former Anambra
State Governor, Peter Obi, is not ready to be the President of Nigeria.
The former National Secretary of Labour Party (LP) noted
that the presidential candidate is not going about his campaigns properly.
Ajulo called Obi’s manifesto “rhetorical analysis” with no
viable plans to solve the myriad of problems facing the country.
In a chat with reporters, the rights activist said Obi “has
not been able to convince discerning Nigerians of his readiness for the job for
which he campaigns”.
Ajulo said even the street hawker knows the problem with
Nigeria, adding that solutions to the issues are what Obi should tell Nigerians
in concrete terms.
“Obi merely complains, which he and his uncritical followers
mistake for a manifesto”, he added.
Ajulo also faulted Obi’s choice of running mate, stressing
that he did very little consultations with northern leaders.
He said inputs from certain prominent persons in the North
would have helped Obi to make his decision.
The lawyer described LP vice presidential candidate Datti
Baba-Ahmed as an intelligent and a good man, “qualified for the job of even the
President”
He however said the present situation of the country is not
only about looking good on one’s certificates or in the bank.
“Obi would need the support of northern stakeholders,
revered religious clerics like Ahmad Abubakar Gumi, Rev Fr. Mathew Kukah,
labour leaders as well as former military leaders if he is really serious.”
The former LP scribe frowned at the strategy deployed by
Obi’s fans, adding that years of experience in politics have taught him that
mob actions do not translate to genuine support.
Ajulo observed that the supporters, especially the ones on
social media, are always in brawls with an individual or group.
The legal practitioner added that “bullying fellow
contestants or possible voters is not and cannot be a part of political
campaign strategies that can win votes”.
