2023: Peter Obi cannot be President, he will do well as Minister of Economy – Ned Nwoko

Nigerian billionaire Ned Nwoko has said that the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi cannot be the next President of Nigeria.

Speaking during an interview with BBC Igbo, he said Obi will be better of as Minister of Economy due to his affiliation in the business world

He said Peter Obi is a good man and has the support of Nigerian youths but Labour Party lacks the necessary structure to rule Nigeria.

“Peter Obi is a good man and has impressed me. When he came to London he came alone. He’s a capitalist and a big-time player in the business world and conservative in the way he handles things.

“I’ll like him back in PDP, he’ll do well as Minister of Economy, he’ll help us turn around Nigeria’s economy.

“Labour Party does not have the structure to win but they have a support base. He’s a popular candidate but cannot become president because he does not have the structure. As a president, you must have the majority of Labour Party in the House of Representatives and Senate.

“Many things in Nigeria will work against the emergence of a president under Labour party, It wouldn’t happen, he said
