The senator, representing Abia South, Enyinnaya Abaribe, says Nigeria would have been better off than what it is today if the Labour Party candidate in the 2023 presidential election, Peter Obi, had won the election.
Abaribe said nepotism which thrives under President Bola Tinubu would have been non-existent under an Obi presidency.
The lawmaker made this statement on a television program monitored by Blaze Fm on Monday.
“If Peter Obi had won, you probably would have seen a better Nigeria than what we are seeing today
“Number one, he would not be as nepotistic as this government, he won’t, it’s not in him. That is just who we are, we feel for the other people,” he said.
While backing his nepotism claim against the President, Abaribe queried Tinubu’s appointment of four ministers from only Ogun State when many other states have just one.
