A group, The Voice for Senior Citizens of Nigeria, on Wednesday endorsed Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, as its presidential candidate for the 2023 elections.
At a press conference in Abuja, the group led by 104 year old Centenarian, High Chief Lolo Iyom Josephine Ezeanyaeche, Chairman Emeritus, said the LP candidate was accepted for his integrity, visionary leadership, competence, nationalistic and global acclaim, among others.
According to her, the endorsement of Mr Obi as the next president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria was because he is qualified as the number one out of the four major contestants.
“The searchlight for his selection was nationally oriented and accepted for his visionary leadership, integrity, transparency, competence, capacity, character, selflessness, enlightenment, education, nationalism and globally acclaimed. Calling him for this honourable task in our assessment will comfort Nigerians for a new beginning,” said Ms Ezeanyaeche.
