FORMER Cebu City mayor Tomas Osmeña is hoping that minority floor leader Cebu City Councilor Nestor Archival Sr. would run for mayor, even as an independent.
Osmeña, in a text message to SunStar Cebu last week, said he knows Archival would be a good mayor.
"He might not be a 'good' candidate, but I know he would be a good mayor," said Osmeña.
"And if can be a good mayor, we can campaign and make him a good candidate," he added.
Osmeña also said Cebu needs a better choice.
Archival is a councilor from the north district.
He ranked first among the candidates running for councilor from the north district during the 2022 elections after garnering 125,485 votes. (JJL)
