Some Politicians Are Exploiting Jonathan Against Peter Obi — Tanko

Ahead of the 2027 election, Yunusa Tanko, the National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement, has accused certain politicians of trying to use former President Goodluck Jonathan against Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s (LP) 2023 presidential candidate.
According to reports, Tanko disclosed this in an interview with Daily Trust, saying that the two leaders’ meeting on Thursday was not unexpected.

Although Tanko acknowledged both Jonathan and Peter Obi are serious candidates, the Obidients would rather the former president resign in favor of the former Anambra State governor.

“They have been friends for a long time,” he stated. The purpose of the gathering was for them to get together and talk about ways to save Nigeria.

Although they are both serious candidates, we would prefer it if Jonathan continued to be the statesman for whom he is known. He is respected, has done his best as president, and now is the moment for him to stand behind his brother.

“Keep in mind that Obi supported Jonathan throughout his presidency and was a member of his economic management team. Now is Jonathan’s moment to stand with Obi.

We are aware that some politicians are attempting to use Jonathan against Peter Obi, but we are adamant that their efforts will fail. For the sake of equity, many Nigerians think the South should be given the opportunity to elect the country’s future president. Peter Obi is the best applicant.

“It is only common sense for Obi to step down for him,” claimed one of Jonathan’s aides, who also revealed that the topic of conversation on Thursday was 2027. Achieving the ideal balance is crucial, and Obi can persuade his group of this.
