The presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, has thrown his support behind the decision of the federal government to begin the partial implementation of the Orosanye report.

Peter Obi in a post on X, said he would have also implemented the Orosanye report if he was President.

Peter Obi stated that, he had during campaigns affirmed that he would have worked with the committee’s findings. He further asserted that implementing the report is one of the best ways to make governance efficient, cost-effective, and productive.

Obi also stressed that being in opposition does not warrant “blind and thoughtless criticism”, adding that whenever the government takes the right decision, Nigerians should agree and if need be, propose related or even better ideas to move the nation forward.
