Before the announcement of the 2023 presidential election result, Obi was trending – Akin Osuntokun

According to the report from the Sun, the Director-general of the 2023 Obi/Datti Presidential Campaign Council, Akin Osuntokun notes that before the announcement of the 2023 election results, Peter Obi was viewed as a role model for other African countries. He states that many young people were inspired by Obi’s message that they can make a difference. However, he argues that this hope was “aborted” by Nigeria’s political system, which has caused political instability.

He said, “Before the announcement of the 2023 presidential election result, Obi was trending, as a kind of candidate that people from other parts of Africa wanted to emulate. I think they gave them names along that line and he stimulated that interest in the youth that we can do it. That of course, has a lot to do with what has taken place in Nigeria but again it was aborted, which has set Nigeria a long way back in terms of political development and political stability.”
