2023: Peter Obi speaks on his choice of running mate

by Ebor Cletus Ralph Jr

On Wednesday, July 6, 2022, the 60-year-old former governor of Anambra State made this statement while appearing on the Arise TV Morning Show.

Instead than reusing experienced individuals who had previously served in the administration, Obi said he wants a running mate who can add value to his ticket.

The vice presidential candidate was also accused of selecting Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, the organization’s director of publicity and advocacy, as his running mate.

Ahmed is a capable hand, he continued, but conversations are still ongoing.

“We’re talking to a quiet number of people and Hakeem Baba-Ahmed is a capable hand. But I wish I can work with somebody who is more younger.

“I prefer younger people who have a lot to offer rather than recycling old hands. I want a competent person and I am building a formidable team.

“I want people who can look me in the eye and disagree with me during cabinet meetings. People who have their own minds and ideas, he said.

When asked about when he would release his manifesto, Obi said instead of paying professors to write a policy document for him, his achievements in Anambra can be replicated on a larger scale.

“How can I hire professors to write or draft policy documents for me that I don’t even believe in?

“I have replicated all that I am promising Nigerians before. It would be the same thing. What I did in Anambra and what I achieved is what we will replicate on a larger scale. We want Nigeria to become the engine of production,” Obi said

In response to the online smear effort, Obi also claimed that his opponents had hired certain online trolls to infiltrate his base of followers and spread untruths about his campaign.

The president-elect also rejected the assertion that northerners won’t support him. He claimed that in 2023, Nigerians and people from the north would choose him based on his qualifications.
