Peter Obi, the 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, recently reflected on former President Muhammadu Buhari’s legacy during a visit to Daura.
Obi acknowledged that Buhari “did his best within his capacity,” despite the controversies surrounding his administration.
He specifically recalled a moment from his campaign when Buhari advised, “Please care for the poor Nigerians,” a statement that left a lasting impression on Obi.
This comment comes amidst a backdrop of significant political realignments in Nigeria, with Obi joining forces with Atiku Abubakar under the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to challenge President Bola Tinubu in upcoming elections.
Buhari’s burial, marked by national mourning and attended by dignitaries, highlighted his complex legacy, which included both praise for his modesty and criticism for economic and security challenges.
Obi’s remarks aim to strike a balanced tone, recognizing Buhari’s intentions while acknowledging the limitations of his tenure.
The statement reflects a broader discourse on leadership and legacy in Nigerian politics, as the nation continues to navigate its path forward.
