Ahead of the 2023 presidential election, campaign posters of Shina Peller were seen on major highways in Lagos on Thursday.
Mr Peller, currently representing Iseyin/Itesiwaju/Kajola/Iwajowa Federal Constituency of Oyo State, had mouthed his interest for higher office earlier in February during a programme he hosted in Ibadan.
He had charged the youths who gathered at the event tagged “Progressive Youth Festival” held at Liberty Stadium, Ibadan, to stop complaining but take a bold step by joining political parties to contest elections to effect the change they desired.
“It is time Nigerian youths took the responsibility for rebuilding this nation,” Mr Peller, son of a famous Ibadan magician, Professor Peller, had declared. “We should stop complaining and start the process of rebuilding our nation because we don’t have any other place we can call our own.”
Earlier, the Nigeria Youths in Politics (NYP) in December 2021, declared its unalloyed support for the presidential ambition of Mr Peller ahead of the 2023 presidential election.
The group’s vice president Olufowobi Desmond had said “our mandate is to support young candidate in 2023, and Hon. Shina Abiola Peller is presently our candidate.”
“Because there is no single Nigerian who is more interested in the peace, unity and development of the country than him (Shina Peller),” he added.
