2023 Election: ‘Nigeria is sick, don’t hand it over to sick person’ – Peter Obi

2023 Election: ‘Nigeria is sick, don’t hand it over to sick person’ – Peter Obi.

The Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has asked Nigerians not to hand over a “sick” country like Nigeria to a “sick person”.

Mr Obi stated this on Thursday when he visited the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) in continuation of his nationwide campaign ahead of the 25 February presidential election.

“This country is sick and should not be handed over to a sick person. I am not saying that anyone is sick. We have been here for over two hours. We don’t want people who can’t stand for 30 minutes,” he said while interacting with UNN Business School and heads of the institution.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and his All Progressives Congress (APC) counterpart, Bola Tinubu, are among the major candidates in the forthcoming election.

There have been concerns about the health conditions of Messrs Tinubu and Atiku lately.

Many claimed that Mr Tinubu regularly seeks medical treatment abroad, and is not coherent with his speeches, and sometimes experiences shaky hands.
