He spoke on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday. Asked what could stop Obi from emerging Nigeria’s president in 2023, Farouk replied, “That is the docility of Nigerians not to select good leaders. If Nigerians feel that they want to continue with the old order, that they don’t want a good leader, a leader that is going to salvage the situation that is up to them.”
Farouk maintained that with the momentum of the Obidients as Obi supporters are fondly called in the country, the party is assured of victory, but insisted that the Nigerian people must decide that they are tired of the old order.
