Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has publicly declared support for Peter Obi to win the 2023 presidential election.
Obasanjo made the declaration on Sunday in an open letter to the youths in Nigeria.
The letter coincides with the New Year celebration and comes eight weeks to the general polls.
He said though other candidates have the capacity to rule, Peter Obi is the needed needle and thread the country needs.
Obasanjo urged young Nigerians to exercise their right, take active part in the 2023 elections and defend their votes.

MY APPEAL TO ALL NIGERIANS PARTICULARLY YOUNG NIGERIANS
Happy New Year! May all our national calamities disappear this year.
I am constrained to write this letter to all Nigerians, especially young Nigerians, friends of Nigeria globally as well as our development partners because of the gravity, responsibility and implications of the collective decision Nigerians, both young and old, will be making within the next two months.
