Political analyst Gbolahan Olojede recently responded to comments made by Peter Gregory Obi, the flag bearer for Nigeria's Labour Party. During a speech in Abuja, Obi stated his belief that he will become president of Nigeria in the future, which sparked criticism from some who saw it as a sign of desperation. However, Olojede disagreed with this interpretation, saying that Obi's political career has shown he has reason to be optimistic.
Olojede argued that even if Obi's ongoing case at the Election Tribunal does not go in his favor, he has still made a strong political statement and built a significant following that could be useful in future electoral contests. He cited Obi's past successes, such as becoming governor of Anambra through the court and being reinstated after impeachment, as evidence of his resilience in the face of challenges.
Olojede acknowledged that Obi's statement could be seen as overly ambitious, but he believes that Obi's track record shows that he has reason to be optimistic about his chances of becoming president one day. He also suggested that Obi's popularity and base of supporters could be leveraged in future contests.
