Other Party Fumes As Obasanjo Endorses Obi

Yesterday, there were a variety of responses to the former president Olusegun Obasanjo’s endorsement of Mr. Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, for the nation’s highest office in the next presidential election on February 25.

The LP and Director-General of the Obi-Datti Campaign Organization, Mr. Akin Osuntokun, praised Obasanjo and said the endorsement is a clarion call to other statesmen and Nigerians. The All Progressives Congress, APC, Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, described Obasanjo’s endorsement of Obi as worthless.

In a short letter, the former President of federal republic of Nigeria wrote mainly to the Nigerian youth.

The letter reads:

“I am constrained to write this letter to all Nigerians especially young Nigerians, friends of Nigeria globally as well as our development partners because of the gravity, responsibility and implications of the collective decision Nigerians, both young and old, will be made within the next two months.

“The last seven and a half years have no doubt been eventful and stressful years for many Nigerians. We have moved from frying pan to fire and from the mountain top to the valley.
