The presidential candidate of Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi said 2023 general elections proved that the Yorubas do not hate the Igbos.
Obi stated this while receiving the 2024 Courageous Citizen Award from the Nigerian-American Coalition for Justice and Democracy (NACJD) in Abuja on Saturday.
The former Anambra State governor noted that the election was not a Christian or Igbo agenda.
He said the 2023 general election saw Nigerians unite across tribe and religious lines, adding that the poll corrected the impression that Yorubas hate Igbos.
Obi noted that the massive turnaround was an indication that Nigerians desired a change from the status quo.
Recall that Obi came third in the 2023 presidential election after trailing his counterpart from the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar and the winner, President Bola Tinubu of the All-Progressives Congress, APC.
