A former lawmaker, Dino Melaye has said that the country does not need Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi as its leader yet.
Melaye said this in a video posted on his Instagram page on Friday.
He stated further that the country needed a unifier as it was currently divided among ethnic lines.
“Peter Obi is one of the finest Nigerians who is intellectually mobile, he is a great Nigerian and by the grace of God, he is qualified to be a president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in the nearest future. Mr Peter Obi, I celebrate your movement for a new Nigeria, but I want to advise that your time is not now, you have to wait for your time.
“I have listened to your arguments and your deliveries including your campaign but I can say that 90% of your campaign is dwelling on reducing the cost of governance.

“I want to tell you that the problems of this country are beyond just cutting the cost of governance. It is less than 1% of our national problems.
“What we need in this country is to unite the nation. Nigeria has never been this divided in our national history. We need one character who has the ability to unite us as a nation,” he said.
