APC Chieftain Nicholas Felix has recently stirred debate by claiming that former Nigerian president Olusegun Obasanjo is not qualified to be a national hero. In his scathing statement, he cites an array of events from Obasanjo's tenure as evidence for why he should not be granted such an esteemed title.

On Wednesday, Felix, a candidate for the party's presidential nomination, made the statement while appearing on the Channels Television Sunrise Daily show.
Remember that Obasanjo had backed Obi, among other presidential contenders for the 2023 election, in a New Year's letter to Nigerians, citing a track record of ability and performance.
Age, physical ability, and cerebral makeup favor Obi more than other front-runner contenders, according to the former president.
The APC chieftain, however, asserted that he did not believe Obasanjo was deserving of the title of national hero.
“He has done great things, but I don’t think I will add him in that our heroes past according to our national anthem.
“So, I am not moved, we aren’t moved and we are moving on with our campaign because the same endorsement didn’t produce any results in 2019 with joined forces,” he said.
