Don’t vote for someone whose real name, schoolmates, age are unknown – Peter Obi tells electorate

Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Mr. Peter Obi, has urged Nigerians not to hand over the administration of the country to people he described as being ‘physically unfit.

Mr. Obi said the country was already sick and should not be handed over to a sick person.

Speaking at his alma mater, the University of Nigeria (UNN), Nsukka, Enugu State, on Thursday, , the LP Presidential candidate urged Nigerians not to vote for any presidential candidate who could not stand for 30 minutes.

In his words, “This country is sick and should not be handed over to a sick person.

“I am not saying that anyone is sick. We have been here for over two hours, we don’t want people who can’t stand for 30 minutes.

“In the United States during elections, they go for debates; somebody once asked Barack Obama questions that are personal and he answered.

During the event, Mr. Obi also took a dig at Presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu,  saying it was important not to vote for someone whose real age, name, and schoolmates were unknown.

He continued, “But here in Nigeria, somebody wants to contest an election, we don’t know his real age, we don’t know his name, we don’t know the schools he attended. Nobody knows his real identity and he is pushing to lead everybody.

“My name is Peter Obi, I can say I went to CKC, went to the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. Both the VC today, and the DVC today, these are my schoolmates. We came to university the same year and left the same year.
