The Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi, says Nigerians must be in agreement to destroy the ‘killer structures’ that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and its twin, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have braggingly deployed to leave the country at its present retrogressive condition.
He has therefore charged his supporters and all well-meaning Nigerians to work with the LP to give the nation a new lease of life while also stressing the need for Nigerians to take back the country from sick, old, and tired politicians with a sense of entitlement by voting for him and his running mate, Baba Datti-Ahmed in the February 2023 presidential election.
According to the former Anambra State Governor, parties currently bragging of structures can only point to killings, insecurity, and intermittent strikes by university lecturers as major achievements, adding; “Nigerians are hungry, youths have no job, it is not safe to travel anywhere in Nigeria today.
“All these challenges are caused by those who say they have party structure, but these structures have crippled Nigeria. I want you and me to destroy these structures by voting them out next month.
“We are going to secure and unite Nigeria, we want Nigerians to be proud of being a Nigerian. We will deliver a secured Nigeria. We don’t want Nigerians to be in Internally Displaced Persons, IDP camps. We don’t want you to be a slave in your own country.
“We are going to govern this country with fear of God. We will give you jobs, we will change Nigeria from a consuming country to a producing one. These people keep bragging that they have structures, yet they are not doing anything. They are not producing anything in this state, youths are unemployed, and we will change these challenges.”
Obi, who spoke during the presidential rally at Freedom Park in Osogbo, charged Nigerians not to vote based on religion or ethnic sentiments, saying that the country needs mentally and physically fit leaders to pull it out of the present quagmire.
He also urged Nigerians to collect their money from those who stole them and vote them out of power as well as retire them from active politics in the forthcoming elections.
