Peter Obi is not running for president– Deji Adeyanju claims

A socio-political commentator named Deji Adeyanju stated on Sunday that Peter Obi, the presidential candidate for the Labour Party, LP, would be held accountable for the results of the 2023 election.

Adeyanju predicted that if Bola Tinubu, the APC's presidential candidate, wins in 2023, the political establishment will point the finger at Obi.

He pointed out that the former governor of Anambra State was challenging Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, not for the presidency.

The Abuja-based activist noted in a tweet that Obi will lose his political standing following the 2023 elections.

He wrote: “Peter Obi is not running for president. He is only running against Atiku & his former party, PDP and after Tinubu wins in February, all the political class in Nigeria will blame him for handing Tinubu victory.

“He will become a political outcast in Nigeria. If Kwankwaso can only work with him, his chances might change.

“I will take so much pleasure in mocking all those that insulted me over my criticism of Atiku, Peter Obi, Kwankwaso; and the disorganized, divided and unserious opposition in February after they hand victory to Tinubu.”

Prior to his defection to the LP, Obi served as Atiku's running partner in the most recent presidential election.

Obi's prominence in Nigeria has grown exponentially since joining LP.
