2023 presidency: Why I may become Nigeria’s consensus candidate – Peter Obi

The 2019 Vice presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP, Peter Obi has indicated that he could emerge as a consensus candidate for the entire country in the forthcoming 2023 general elections.

The former governor of Anambra State was addressing journalists at his Onitsha GRA residence on Saturday. The presidential aspirant stated that he has strong supporters from all the political parties in the country.

Obi stated that he would ensure he consult properly, saying the person who is fit to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari will be picked at the end.

“They didn’t say consensus is from a particular section; it might be consensus for Nigeria, and as we are going round, we shall be discussing everything.

“You never know I might be the consensus candidate. I agree we shall be talking to each other and in the end, we shall find out who is the best for the job,” he said.

Obi called on Nigerians to investigate and interrogate aspirants to uncover their previous achievements and failures, pointing out that his antecedents will speak favourably for him.
