I can’t wait for Peter Obi to be President – Chimamanda Adichie

Nigerian popular novelist, Chimamanda Adichie has confessed that she can’t wait for the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi to be the next President of Nigeria.

Adichie made this revelation via a lengthy Facebook post, in honor of Mr Obi’s 61st birthday on Tuesday.

The Nigerian novelist said she admires his love for education.

“I can’t wait for February 25, 2023, when I, with personal pride in you and with hope for what Nigeria can become, will cast my vote for you and your running mate, Senator Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed,” Adichie wrote.

Chimamanda said she admires Obi’s intellectual curiosity and his love for education.

Her post read: “I remember how you regaled Daddy and Mummy with your stories until we started joking about your obsession with the GDP of Malaysia. But your obsession spoke of hope: your hope for Nigeria, your belief in what Nigeria could be. A belief that has always been practical, grounded in numbers and in reality.”

“You’ve always been clear about what your priorities are, what matters to you, what you believe should matter, and that is deeply admirable.

“I’ve always admired your humane pragmatism and how you believe in certain ideals without being an ideologue,” she added.

She thanked the former Governor of Anambra state for being honest and willing to acknowledge his wrongs, describing him as a good man.
