The Presidential Candidate of Labour Party (LP) Peter Obi, who came third at the recently concluded presidential election has expressed optimism that he would be President of Nigeria in due course, stressing that ‘if not today, it must be tomorrow’.
Penpushing further reports that Obi made the declaration on Friday at the presentation of a book entitled: “Peter Obi: Many voices, one perspective’ in Akwa, Anambra State Capital, emphasizing that anyone who thinks he (Obi) is on a transit is wasting his time
“Anyone who thinks I am on a transit is wasting his time. Let me tell you, I must be the president of this country. I am sure of that. If it is not today, it must be tomorrow. Other people who want to be, should come and tell us what they want to do, and how to do it. This is my country; I don’t have dual citizenship. If anyone thinks I am going to run away from Nigeria, they are lying’, Obi said.
Penpushing also reports that the former Governor of Anambra State said he was not in a hurry to achieve the dream of becoming the country’s president, adding that he was not in a hurry to become the President
‘I have three engagements in Anambra and Lagos today. I will be speaking in Lagos tonight. We will not leave Nigeria. I am not in a hurry to become the president, but I know it must happen’,the presidential candidate said.
“For three years I was in court in Anambra to reclaim my governorship (position), just to challenge the process. Many people tried to discourage me, but I said even if the entire four-year tenure elapsed for us to prove a point and correct the process, I will be fulfilled’, he added.
Penpushing reports that he said he was more concerned with the process that brings leaders to an office, and not about who the leader is, emphasizing that he was committed to the task of achieving a better Nigeria.
