Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives, Congress, APC, candidate, who famously used the word ’emi lokan’ meaning I am the next, Obi stated on Monday that the 2023 presidency is nobody’s turn.
It was reported that he made the submission in Abuja during the Labour Party Leadership Retreat.
According to Obi, religion or ethnicity should not be used by Nigerians to choose their next leader but rather, the people of the country should consider character, trust and competence.
In his words, “We will do this retreat now, after election we will do another one, election next year will not be based on ethnicity, we have had it before, it would not be on religion.
“There is no place that Christians buy things cheaper, there is no place that Muslims buy things cheaper. It will not be by my turn, it is nobody’s turn. It must not be by connection. Election next year must be based on character and trust, it must be based on competence.”
