Obasanjo Sparks Reactions Over Peter Obi’s Endorsement
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has sparked reactions online following his open endorsement of the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi.
In a New Year message titled “My Appeal to all Nigerians, particularly young Nigerians”, Obasanjo endorsed Obi to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.
The former Nigerian leader described Peter Obi as “a needle with thread attached to it from North and South and he may not get lost”.
However, some Nigerians especially supporters of the LP flagbearer took to social media to express their reactions to the endorsement of Obi by the former President.
See some of the reactions below.

Note: Obasanjo’s endorsement cannot take Peter Obi to the presidency. It cannot even take him anywhere aside the faces of the newspaper and social media. pic.twitter.com/5xOM2oeftO

Obasanjo listed characters that made him endorse Peter Obi.
These are characteristics that everyone associated with PO has always agreed that he possesses.
According to Rufai Oseni, If you like, votes thieves.
