Former Niger State Governor, Babangida Aliyu says it is too early for Peter Obi to become president.

The ex-governor who aired his view on the presidential aspiration of the Labour Party (LP) candidate on Channels Television’s Political Paradigm on Tuesday remarked that Nigerians are not ready for the former Anambra governor.

According to him, Obi, who he described as a “very excellent person”, would only succeed in making a name for himself in 2023 but will win the presidential election either in 2027 or 2031.

“Peter Obi is my good friend and a former member of my former Governors forum. A very excellent person,” Aliyu said.

“His candidature, in terms of the Presidency, I think he will make some name now. But he may be able to make it only in 2027, 2031. But 2023? Too early.

“Even though the young people might go for him, the name is not dropping everywhere else. I doubt if Nigerians are ready for him now as a presidential person.”

Aliyu also noted that many people in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had been rooting for Obi to be the Vice President to Atiku Abubakar the second time.

“I would have loved him as a Vice President. Many of us were rooting for him to be Vice President to Atiku again,” he added.
