Former Anambra governor and businessman, Peter Obi might emerge Nigeria’s next President if Nigerian twitter was to decide for the coming 2023 presidential election.

This is because the businessman has maintained the number one spot on Nigeria trends on twitter with the #PeterObi for three days straight now.

The hashtag has generated over 70,000 tweets from Nigerians who share their views about his presidential ambition.

Following his recent conditional declaration for the 2023 presidency, the 2019 vice presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is gaining wide support from Nigerians

Prior to this, Obi had tweeted: “Yes, I will step into the field to contest for the opportunity to serve this great country as President if my party, the PDP, zones the ticket to the south. But if it is thrown open, Nigerians will also hear from me.”
