Next year’s election will not be by ethnicity, religion, by turn or connection – Peter Obi

Presidential Candidate of Labor Party Peter Obi has expressed that the forthcoming 2023 presidential election must be based on competence and character

Speaking at a retreat organised by LP on Monday in Abuja, Obi said the election will not be based on ethnicity or religion. He said it will not be by turn or connection

The former Anambra state Governor said this following a speech by Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress where he used terms like Emi Lo Kàn,” which translates to “I’m the next.”

Tinubu discussed how he helped President Muhammadu Buhari win and why he should succeed him.

Reacting to this, Obi said; “We will do this retreat now; after the election, we will do another one. Next year’s elections will not be based on ethnicity

“We have had it before; it would not be on religion. There is no place that Christians buy things cheaper, there is no place that Muslims buy things cheaper.

“It will not be by turn, it is nobody’s turn. It must not be by connection. The election next year must be based on character and trust; it must be based on competence,” he stated.
