Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has been taken to the cleaners by the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) presidential candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso for endorsing the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

Kwankwaso said: “Some of the people… we have seen on the news that they are supporting Mr A or Mr B, I think it is a big mistake.”

“These are leaders I respect. There is a time in your life when you become a real statesman, not a politician.”

“I can tell you also that any candidate or party that comes out with the face of ethnicity or the issue of religion, that party, that candidate, I can assure, at the national level, has failed that election before it starts.”

“And I want to advise our leaders: they should stop disgracing themselves. We have so much respect for them.”

For those who don’t know, Obasanjo and South-South leader, Edwin Clark recently endorsed Peter Obi for the 2023 presidential election.
