Lagos State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has criticised Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, over his reaction to the United States’ recent appointment of Nigeria, as a country of particular concern.
The APC’s spokesperson, Seye Oladejo, accused Obi of exploiting a sensitive national issue for political gain instead of demonstrating true statesmanship.
Oladejo also said that Obi’s delayed reaction to the U.S. appointment revealed a lack of patriotic conviction, suggesting that his response came only after public pressure.
He further said that Obi thrives politically when Nigeria faces challenges, accusing him of turning national issues into opportunities for political resurrection also saying that Obi should choose between standing with Nigeria and persisting in political desperation.
