Governance Lecturer, Dr. Benjamin Otchere-Ankrah has wished for Ghana to have a 'Peter-Obi' kind of leadership.
Analyzing the just-ended Presidential elections of Nigeria which has seen the leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu, declared President of the country, Dr. Benjamin Otchere-Ankrah touted the virtues of Peter Obi, the leader of the Labour Party which emerged a powerful force in the Nigerian elections.
He described Peter Obi as a sage and hoped Ghana would have a third force to challenge the political status quo where it has always been either the New Patriotic Party or National Democratic Congress coming out tops during general elections.
"I listened to some of his interviews. He is very wise. How I wish we can have a Peter Obi in Ghana?"
He added that although Peter Obi couldn't win the elections, he however "has still earned my respect. He worked hard. Whether we will find a person of his sort here (in Ghana) is the issue".
Nigeria Elections
The Nigerian elections commenced on Saturday, February 25 and were characterized by some violent events.
Some electorates were attacked, others asked to go home and some ballot papers destroyed.
The credibility of the elections has been challenged as it is believed it was rigged to deny Peter Obi from wearing the presidential hat.
At the end of the elections, the leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu, was declared winner and is yet to be sworn into office.
However, there are reports of Peter Obi to challenge the election results in court.

This so called lecturer does not research on people before they make comments. Which politician in Ghana Peter Obi is more experienced than? They all have minuses.When he was the governor of Anambra state, N80 billion naira meant for development were deposited in the Access bank,the bank that he is the chairman. Imagine Ofori-Atta keeping part of Ghana money in Databank. This same lecturer will be the first person to make noise about. Secondly he has drug trafficking case in the court in which the person arrest in the US accusing Peter Obi as the pusher. Leave Nigeria politics to them and let's think positive a about our country Ghana.
Kennedy Agyapong is Peter Obi in Ghana. I bet you!!
But, Massa, are you not there?
