Founder and Afe Babalola University Chancellor Ado Ekiti, Chief Afe Babalola (SAN) has said that Labor Party (LP) presidential candidate Mr. Peter Obi is the most qualified person to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari.
He said that the only people who oppose Obi are those who participated in plunging the country into the state of underdevelopment in which it currently finds itself.
“Unless you are part of the old system that has gotten us to where we are, there is no way you can oppose a young man like Mr. Peter Obi, an educated, young and immaculate man with the ideas of being the president of Nigeria. ”. he said.
Babalola, who will mark 60 years of his call to the bar as a lawyer this year, said he and Obi share a common passion in their love for quality education.
“We have common ground, and that common ground is that you will give education a rightful place in your administration. Unlike all of you, I never had a conventional education, never went to high school, never went to college, but because of determination and courage, I endured. I studied privately by correspondence and got my A Level by correspondence, passed entrance to the correspondence university.
“If it weren’t for education I wouldn’t be where I am today and that is why by the grace of God after a successful practice, I am what I am today. This year I will celebrate 60 years of my calling to Bar and by the grace of God Peter Obi will be there. He is the most qualified to run this country.”
