Author and former media aide to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan has described Peter Obi as the only formidabble political oppostion figure in Nigeria right now as he has retired others who contested in the 2023 presidential election.
Okokri who is an avid critic of the former Anambra State
governor said anyone parading themselves and think they are a bigger opposition
is suffering delusion. He further
He expressed his admiration for Obi, who he said despite
being severely flawed has trudged on.
This was in a Facebook post on Friday.
It reads, “Peter Obi is currently the Number One opposition
figure in Nigeria. Bar none. Anybody in any opposition party who thinks that he
is bigger than Obi right now is ‘just deluded’.
“The man, Obi, is severely flawed, but I admire how he has
trudged on despite the obstacles he faces. Some people in one or two opposition
parties have already been retired by Obi, but they just don’t know it yet
because their money is keeping them on political life support.
“If only he could be less Igbo-centric, appeal to his
Obidients to use persuasive rather than abusive words and admit, then apologise
for his ‘Yes Daddy’ ‘religious war’ comment against the Muslim Ummah, he would
go far. Those are his Achilles heel. He cannot cross the Rubicon without
addressing them.”
Peter Obi has maintained that he’s more concerned with
seeing than Nigeria work than becoming president, even though he has not ruled
out contesting when the 2027 polls come around.
