Obiageli Ezekwesili, who used to be the minister of education, has said that she will vote for Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, over the other candidates because he has the highest rating of the top two candidates for president in 2023.
During the Channels Television Hard Copy program, Ezekwesili made this statement and added that it is simple to rank Obi as well as the presidential candidates of the All Progressives Congress and the People’s Democratic Party, Bola Tinubu and Atiku Abubakar, respectively.
The former vice president of the World Bank for the African Region says that it is easy to rate the top three candidates using information that is available to the public. She also says that Obi is ahead of the other two candidates based on her own ratings.
When it comes to the specific question of a presidential run, I have said and will continue to say that I will look at the other two candidates and grade them right away based on what we know. For all three candidates, there is information that is publicly available that can be used to establish the evaluation.
After grading the contenders, Ezekwesili declared, “There is absolutely no way I would leave Peter Obi and vote for any of the other two candidates.”
