Human rights lawyer Dele Farotimi said he wouldn’t think twice about supporting Peter Obi, if the Labour Party candidate for the 2023 presidential election decides to run again in 2027.
Farotimi, who was the spokesperson for the Labour Party Presidential Campaign Council in 2023 said Obi remains the best choice if the country desires to relaunched itself for development.
“If elections where our votes will count will hold today, I will vote for Peter Gregory Obi, unless somebody else comes into the race that I think can do better. If it’s still the same lineup as the last time, it’s definitely Peter Obi I’m voting for,” Farotimi said during an appearance on Channels TV politics today broadcast.
“I hope he will be a little bolder with his policy platforms, but frankly speaking, in terms of capacity and integrity, there’s nobody I will be supporting.
“Something drastic has to happen for me to decide I’m not supporting Peter Obi. He might be that he teamed up with some objectionable persons that I cannot stomach, and that’s a real possibility. However, outside of that, there’s nobody else.
“I actually think our discussions of elections today are a disservice to ourselves because we really cannot speak in terms of an election in our current circumstances.”
