FCT, Abuja—Enyinnaya Abaribe, Senator representing Abia South in the Senate, said Nigerians would have seen a better country had the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate Peter Obi won the 2023 general election.
Abaribe said nepotism would have been non-existent under Obi’s presidency.

He stated this while speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday, November 25.
The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) senator claimed nepotism thrives under President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
Abaribe also criticised and described Tinubu’s appointment of four ministers from Ogun state as nepotistic.
“If Peter Obi had won, you probably would have seen a better Nigeria than what we are seeing today.
“Number one, he would not be as nepotistic as this government, he won’t, it’s not in him. That is just who we are, we feel for the other people”
He further stated that Igbo people should not wait for presidents to be fair to them but rather take charge of South-East development.
Recall that Abaribe earlier said the presidency never approached the national assembly to approve the purchase of the new presidential jet.
The Tinubu-led government had announced the purchase of a new Airbus A330 earlier in August 2024.
Addressing this, Senator Abaribe said he had always been at the national assembly but had never encountered any document related to the new presidential jet.
