What Obi Told Us In 2022 When We Said We Want Him And Osinbajo As PDP And APC Candidates – Moses Paul

In the lead-up to the 2023 presidential election in Nigeria, various political scenarios were envisioned by citizens and political analysts alike. One such scenario, proposed by Dr. Moses Paul and his group, involved Peter Obi, the former governor of Anambra state, as the presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and Prof. Yemi Osinbajo as the flagbearer of the All Progressive Congress (APC). This article explores Peter Obi’s response to this proposition and the shared vision for a better Nigeria that both leaders allegedly hold.

According to a recent revelation by Dr. Moses Paul, one of Peter Obi’s aides, the former governor was approached by Paul’s group in 2022 to discuss a hypothetical scenario where Obi would emerge as the PDP candidate and Osinbajo as the APC candidate in the 2023 presidential election. The group believed that such a scenario would be a win-win situation for Nigeria, given the leadership qualities and vision of both individuals.

In response to this proposition, Peter Obi reportedly expressed his profound and exceptional thoughts on the matter. Dr. Moses Paul, in a post on his official X (formerly Twitter) handle on Wednesday, quoted Obi as saying, “I wish God will grant our wish for the future for a better Nigeria.” Obi further added, “I believe VP Osinbajo and I share a vision for a progressive and hopeful Nigeria.”
