2023: What ex-President, Goodluck Jonathan, told Peter Obi in Bayelsa [PICTURES]

Former President, Goodluck Jonathan on Friday, received the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, and his entourage in Yenagoa residence in Bayelsa State.

At the reception, Jonathan told Obi to go and unite Nigeria.

Obi and Jonathan, as of the time of this report on Friday evening, were in a meeting behind closed doors amid the LP candidate’s presidential campaign ahead of the 2023 elections, Channels Television, reports, quoting the former President, as saying that everything must be done to unite a Nigeria that “is extremely divided.”

Jonathan, who gave the task of uniting Nigeria as the first priority of the former Governor of Anambra State, should he emerge victorious in 2023, commended him for taking the bold step to contest the elections next year outside the two major parties.

Obi, who was accompanied by his running mate, Yusuf Baba-Ahmed, and party stalwarts, had also pocketed the support of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, who, in Enugu, recently said helping the LP candidate to win the election, represented the Nigerian project founded on justice, equity and fair-play.
