2027 election: Why Peter Obi is better than Jonathan

Okwuosa said the 2023 Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has the cleanest of records, competence, and is intellectually sound.

“Obi has been a businessman and a banker all his life, but GEJ came from the classroom into politics, and had no understanding of the economy. Obi is more knowledgeable in the area of economy.”

According to Okwuosa, the former Anambra state governor is the best and most preferred candidate of all those contesting for the 2027 Presidential election.

“He is so vast in knowledge that he could give you details of how best things are being done in other developed nations and how they could be replicated here to better our country. He is conversant with every sector of the economy.
