Activist Deji Adeyanju has expressed his belief that Nigeria does not require a leader like Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, in the last election.<\/p>\n

There have been mentions from some Nigerians suggesting that Peter Obi should run for the presidency again in 2027.<\/p>\n

But dring an appearance on \u2018The Honest Bunch\u2019 podcast, Adeyanju emphasised the need for a strong leader and implied that Peter Obi does not fit this description.<\/p>\n

He described Obi as \u201cjust a decent and nice guy.\u201d<\/p>\n

He claimed that Omoyele Sowore, the former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC, embodies the type of leader that Nigerians need.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cYou don\u2019t need a Peter [Obi]. Peter is just a decent guy, nice guy\u2026 Nigeria needs somebody that the idea of him coming alone, they [corrupt people] have already run away.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause the bad eggs in the system, in the police, army and civil service, they need somebody that would teach them a lesson for their bad behaviour. And right now there\u2019s no such person.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf someone like Omoyele Sowore by divine providence becomes President; before he is sworn in, Nigeria will empty. All the politicians will run away.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Former Head of State] Abdulsalami Abubakar said it during a peace accord. He said, \u2018Sowore, if you enter [the presidency], all of us are finished.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t need a Peter. Peter is just a decent guy, nice guy\u2026 Nigeria needs somebody\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
