Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has said that former Anambra state governor and vice presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Peter Obi is not a saint.

Vanguard reports that Obasanjo said this during the 2018 Ukpor Day.

According to Obasanjo, Obi could not be a saint because mortals cannot be one except if the person is dead and lives in heaven.

The former Nigerian leader noted that saints live in heaven and as such, saintly attributes could not be granted to mortals.

However, Obasanjo said that among Nigerian politicians, Obi should be held out as an example, describing the former governor as 'a bundle of integrity'.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had reported that Obasanjo warned Ndigbo to be wary of promises from the ruling All Progressives Congress ahead of the 2019 general elections.
