Activist Deji Adeyanju believes that Nigeria does not need a leader like Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the last election.
Some Nigerians have suggested that Obi should run for president again in 2027. However, during an appearance on “The Honest Bunch” podcast, Adeyanju emphasized the need for a strong leader and suggested that Obi does not fit this description, calling him “just a decent and nice guy.”
Adeyanju argued that Omoyele Sowore, the former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), is the type of leader Nigeria needs.
In his words;
“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.”
