2023: ' Peter Obi Has No Grand Vision' — Sam Omatseye

The Nation newspaper’s well-known columnist, Sam Omatseye says Peter Obi does not have a grand vision to be Nigeria's next president.

Peter Obi declared his interest to run for the president of Nigeria in 2023 on Thursday, March 24 in Akwa under the umbrella of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Part of his statement reads thus, “I have come to inform you of my intention to contest the 2023 presidential election. I need your support.

“The Nigeria I will lead will create jobs, boost our economy, improve education. If I have the opportunity, I will turn around the country for the better.

 “I will move Nigeria from a consuming nation to a producing nation. As a Nigerian, I want all parts of the country to be secured. I’m not aspiring for a political position, but to serve the country.

Reacting to the declaration Sam Omatseye via his Twitter handle questioned Peter Obi on his achievements as governor of Anambra State between 2006 and 2014 under the platform of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA).

He further added that "Obi has no grand vision".

What did Peter Obi do that lingers up till today as Governor? That’s how you know a transformational leader. Obi has no grand vision. Pls let’s look elsewhere. No time for sentiment
