The Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo has said Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi is APC’s flagbearer Bola Tinubu’s greatest weapon to win the 2023 presidential election.
Keyamo, who is also the spokesperson for the All Progressives Congress presidential campaign council also noted that Obi will sit near Tinubu as his best friend at the swearing-in ceremony.
Keyamo made this disclosure on Wednesday in an interview on Arise TV.
While reacting to former President Olusegun Obasanjo, and ex-commissioner Edwin Clark’s endorsement of Peter Obi, Keyamo said similar action occurred in the 2019 elections, but all resulted in nothing.
“When we say that Peter Obi is the greatest weapon Asiwaju Tinubu has, people do not understand what we are saying. I can say it openly now because it is too late to pull out; Peter Obi is the biggest reason why Ahmed Bola Tinubu would win the 2023 election. On a lighter note, on the day of swearing in of Tinubu as President, I will beg that Peter Obi is given the front seat; he will sit near Tinubu as his best friend”, he said.
