The Northern Awareness Network has tackled the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, over his comments on South African elections. Obi had said the recent election in South Africa is a shining example of what a transparent process should look like.
In a post via X handle on Saturday, the former Anambra State governor said the disparities in the electoral procedures of both nations are regrettable and a reflection of Nigeria’s ongoing struggles with democratic governance. However, the northern group, in a statement by its chairman, Salihu Suleiman, said the two nations have vastly different political histories and contexts, making any such comparisons by Obi misleading.
According to him, Obi’s attempt to juxtapose the electoral experiences of the two countries demonstrates a lack of understanding of their respective political landscapes. “Peter Obi’s attempt to compare the electoral processes of South Africa and Nigeria is quite ridiculous.
