Deji Adeyanju, an activist, has said that Peter Obi is too gentle and not the type of president Nigeria wants.
During his interview on ‘The Honest Bunch’ podcast, Adeyanju emphasized the significance of having a strong leader and claimed that Peter Obi does not have the potentials.
He described Obi as “just a decent and nice guy.” Adeyanju feels that Omoyele Sowore, the former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, is the type of leader Nigeria requires.
He said, “You don’t need a Peter [Obi]. Peter is just a decent guy, nice guy… Nigeria needs somebody that the idea of him coming alone, they [corrupt people] have already run away.
“Because 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’s no such person.
“If someone like Omoyele Sowore by divine providence becomes President; before he is sworn in, Nigeria will empty. All the politicians will run away.
“[Former Head of State] Abdulsalami Abubakar said it during a peace accord. He said, ‘Sowore, if you enter [the presidency], all of us are finished.”
