Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, has expressed optimism that the 2023 general election would be centred on the capacity of candidates not their connection.
The former Anambra State governor stated this on Monday, August 22, 2022, at the 2022 Annual General Meeting of the Nigerian Bar Association currently holding at the Eko Hotels, Lagos.
Obi said, “Remember, the election we are going to have next year will not be about tribe, not religion, not connection, not entitlements but about character, competence, capacity, and commitment to deliver.”
The event had the presence of several dignitaries including the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP 2023 presidential flag bearer, Atiku Abubakar and the All Progressives Congress, APC vice presidential candidate, Kashim Shettima.
The APC candidate, Bola Tinubu is currently being dragged on social media for shunning the event.
