Nigerian lawyer cum activist, Deji Adeyanju, has described the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, as too decent and nice to lead Nigeria, unlike the African Action Congress (AAC) two-time presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore.
Naija News reports that Adeyanju, during an interview on ‘The Honest Bunch’ podcast, emphasised the need for a strong leader and implied that Peter Obi does not fit this description.
He described Obi as “just a decent and nice guy” and said that Nigerians do not need him.
According to Adeyanju, Sowore embodies the type of leader that Nigerians need and will scare many politicians, stressing they would run from Nigeria if he assumes the presidency position.
He said, “You don’t need a Peter [Obi]. Peter is just a decent guy, nice guy… Nigeria needs somebody that the idea of him coming alone, they [corrupt people] have already run away.
“Because the bad eggs in the system, in the police, army and civil service, they need somebody that would teach them a lesson for their bad behaviour. And right now, there’s no such person.
“If someone like Omoyele Sowore by divine providence becomes President; before he is sworn in, Nigeria will empty. All the politicians will run away.
“[Former Head of State] Abdulsalami Abubakar said it during a peace accord. He said, ‘Sowore, if you enter [the presidency], all of us are finished.”
