Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has set the social media space ablaze following his open endorsement of the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi.
In a New Year message titled “My Appeal to all Nigerians, particularly young Nigerians”, Obasanjo expressed his desires for Obi to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.
According to the former Nigerian leader Peter Obi is “a needle with thread attached to it from North and South and he may not get lost”.
