Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi endorsed Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the Labour Party governorship candidate for Lagos State,
Peter Obi made the endorsement while he was interviewed on Arise TV today.
“The labour party candidate for Lagos remains the best candidate… I can tell you he’s a fantastic guy”, Obi said during the interview.
In reply to a question about Gbadebo’s age and lack of experience in Nigerian politics and public service, the following conversation ensued between Arise TV’s Rufai and Obi.
Rufai: They say GRV doesn’t have experience.
Obi: Yes. He doesn’t have experience in corruption.
Obi said that politics is a collaboration between the young and the old, and that there were many who came into governance without having any experience, and that one could learn to serve the people while doing his job. He concluded by saying, “The job of a leader is always listening and learning.”
