Former Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) star, Pere Egbi, has joined the growing number of celebrities who have been vocal about the forthcoming 2023 general elections.
Taking to his Twitter page, the reality star made a strong case against the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Bola Tinubu.
For Egbi, the two individuals should not be on the list of those considering becoming president of Nigeria.
The BBNaija star wrote:
“So many people who shouldn’t be president of Nigeria. Atiku and Tinbubu are on that list. We can do better than these two.”

Pere laments the state of the nation
In a Twitter thread, the reality star pointed out his strong dislike for leaders in the country who have failed to make a change when they had the opportunity to do so.
Pere noted that he stayed back in Nigeria for 24 years before relocating to the US and as such, has seen enough to have a grasp of issues in the country.
I’m not a fan of any of these politicians, especially those who have held power before but still didn’t and couldn’t fix the problems plaguing our country. From chronic security problems to electricity issues to jobs, education, infrastructure, the list is endless.

According to the entertainer, average Nigerians are at the receiving end of the failed system.
Pere added that though he isn’t actively supporting any candidate, if the ones being paraded are the only available options, then everyone will have to find a way to work together for the greater good.
See his tweets below:
The system is poisonous and the only people who are getting hurt by this poison are the average Nigerians and not the wealthy. I do not have a candidate who I am supporting but if these are the candidates who are available to us, then so be it. We will all work together.

Or is it that parent finding it hard to pay the school fees of their kids because they have no solid income coming in. Or is it the incessant killings of innocent people who have done no wrong? Should I keep going? The list is endless and I literally tear up thinking bout these

We don’t want to keep praying for opportunities to leave our country just because it isn’t green here. There are millions who have left and millions more wanting to leave. This shouldn’t be the norm. Do the right thing. Fix the problems and let’s make the change we desire.
