The 2023 election is a decisive moment for Nigeria, given the nation’s sensitive fiscal, security and economic conditions. But far beyond that, the election is a defining moment for each of the three leading candidates of perhaps the three most visible parties.
The opinion on Peter Obi is too far from Nigeria's reality. He is not even an issue in the election. He is not a better economist than any of the two main candidates and cannot win a polling unit, talk less of a ward. He is just using the labour party platform to keep himself in public glare. The issue in Nigeria's presidential election election is that the two candidates of APC and PDP are simple formidable. They are the last twin-men standing in their era. The election will be keenly contested no doubt.
