 A former minister of education, Obie Ezekwisli, has ranked Peter Obie of the Labour Party higher than other leading presidential candidates for the 2023 elections. Her comment is coming on the heels of recent massive rallies held by Obie's supporters in several parts of the country to mobilize support for the Labour Party man. She said Obie possesses what others do not have, even as the country suffers from poor leadership. She also lamented the country's leadership problem, adding that the country has recorded stunted growth as a result of it. However, she acknowledged that the current political awakening in the country, especially among youths, will alter the landscape.
