Speaking further, Ezekwesili said an analytical perspective of what is likely to happen in 2023 suggests that a strong appetite for change is coming from the youthful segment of the population which makes up 60 per cent of the voting population.
The former World Bank Vice President for Africa Region noted that many of the youths are leaning towards Obi’s presidency.
She also said that women which make up about 51 per cent of the voting population are more inclined towards the presidency of Peter Obi.
Though the Labour Party is not as strong as the APC and the PDP, Oby said the former Anambra governor’s prospect cannot be dismissed.
