The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has congratulated 37-year-old Humza Yousaf who is set to be First Minister of Scotland and leader of the Scottish National Party (SNP).
Peter Obi sent his congratulatory message in a tweet.
“In an organised democracy like Scotland, Character Competence, Capacity, and Compassion, rather than ethnicity and religion form the basis on which credible leaders are voted into power. A lesson for Nigeria!
“I have always maintained that Nigerians must rise above ethnicity, religion and sectarian politics in matters of governance; and that the leadership selection process must be strictly based on Character, Competence, Capacity and Compassion.
“Only then, shall our democracy flourish, and our society progress.
“Contextually, the Scottish reality is instructive and presents us some lessons learned and missed opportunities.
