Peter Obithe presidential candidate of the Labor Party (LP), has urged voters to give him a chance to create a new Nigeria where people will have equal opportunities.
Speaking at a public meeting in Maiduguri on Friday, Mr. Obi said that other parties have failed, making Nigerians need to try the Labor Party for the needed change.
“We want you to be responsible for the new Nigeria. For too long, people have been throwing away the future of Nigerians and we cannot continue like this.
“We will secure and restore Nigeria as it should be,” he said.
Mr. Obi, who lamented the security challenges in Borno and other parts of Nigeria, said his administration would restore the hope of the people and ensure that no Nigerian lives in IDP camps.
He said Borno has vast land and agricultural resources, which if properly utilized can generate billions of naira annually.
“My administration has big plans for the north, especially in agriculture and education that will help us out of poverty,” Mr. Obi said.
Also speaking, the candidate for vice president of the Labor Party, Datti Baba-Ahmad, spoke on Mr. Obi’s legacy as a former governor who did not owe money to work for the country.
He said the two major political parties have failed in Nigeria and the Labor Party remains the only alternative to save the country.
In her speech, Aisha Yusuf, an activist and supporter of Mr. Obi, urged Nigerians to take the 2023 election seriously by voting for the Labor Party candidate because of the party’s people-oriented programmes.
