‘Nigerians don’t need Peter Obi, he’s just a nice guy’ – Deji Adeyanju [VIDEO]
Activist Deji Adeyanju has expressed his belief that Nigeria does not require a leader like Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, in the last election.
There have been mentions from some Nigerians suggesting that Peter Obi should run for the presidency again in 2027.
But dring an appearance on ‘The Honest Bunch’ podcast, Adeyanju 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.”
He claimed that Omoyele Sowore, the former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC, embodies the type of leader that Nigerians need.
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.”
