Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), has reiterated his commitment to restructuring the country if elected.
WITHIN NIGERIA reports that the former Governor of Anambra State stated this in a Twitter statement on Wednesday, urging Nigerians to vote for leaders who are capable of delivering the new Nigeria to citizens.
According to Obi, Nigeria requires credible leadership that will leverage the country’s vast resources to address challenges confronting the country’s collective humanity.
The LP candidate also stated that he and his running mate, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, are prepared to deliver a new Nigeria to citizens.
He tweeted:
Fellow Nigerians, it’s 3 days to go and in my quiet moments I know that Nigerians are wondering what Peter Obi is thinking. I will share my thoughts here because I have Nigeria on my mind!
We are currently at a crossroads. We need a leader to show us the way forward. We need a prudent president, a principled president who has what it takes to lead.
As we say in Naija: “We need person who sabi road; a person we go follow make this country better.” A new Nigeria is possible. We can make it.
We have national elections coming up next Saturday, on the 25th of February 2023. The presidential election is the most critical because we will be electing the next president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
It is not about our sacred churches, mosques, and shrines. The election is about the future of this land that God gave to our great generation.
Why Labour? I will tell you. We want to move our economy from importing and consuming products to producing, consuming less, and exporting more. That is the essence of Consumption to Production.
Datti and I will work hard every day and with everyone. Many things went wrong in the past 24 years. There are enough blames to go round. We will not share blames. We will share hope. No more excuses. In life, what matters more is not what happened to us;
it is what we do with what happened to us. Honesty is the best policy. We must be truthful to ourselves. Truth is the essence of life. I pride myself in striving to be an upright citizen.
I endeavour to do the right things. Fairness is the golden rule: do unto others as you wish them to do unto you. When I fail, I learn.
Our revered Chinua Achebe stated that our humanity depends on the humanity of others. We are in this word with great gifts. Our world presents challenges and opportunities. Challenges stimulate our creativity.
We will use the opportunity of vast resources in our God-given earth to meet those challenges confronting humanity. The welfare of one is the welfare of all.
My modesty is not words of mouth: I live it. We can feed off each other’s simplicity. By producing more and consuming less, we can balance our needs, not wants, and make society more equitable. It makes no sense fighting over issues that require rational thinking & good conscience
I love this country. It is not perfect. Nothing is perfect. Perfection is a continuum. The labours of our heroes past must not be in vain.
Please come out and vote for Labour Party (LP)Please subscribe to success, to the triumph of a tested, trusted, and verified leadership. Do not renew the subscription to suffering, to the sorrow of tomorrow.
A new Nigeria is possible. Let’s make it happen like a TEAM: Together, everyone achieves more.
