The Labour Party (LP) Presidential candidate, Peter Obi has cautioned that Nigerians will be making their greatest lifetime mistake if they concede the presidency in this year’s elections to those claiming that it is their turn to rule the country.
Addressing the Labour Party presidential campaign rally in Asaba, the Delta State capital, Obi said; “Let me say it here, the presidency is nobody’s turn. Don’t let anybody tell you it is his turn. Rather, as Nigerians, it is your turn to take back your country”.
He has therefore urged Nigerians to take back the country from the clutches of bad leadership and those that have deliberately kept it in bondage for their selfish interest.
According to him, the time has come for Nigerians to rise up, put an end to such leadership which has plagued the country over the years, and effectively chart a new course for future generations.
The former Anambra State governor lamented that “Nigeria has become synonymous with suffering”, adding; “We are suffering in a land of abundant resources. Insecurity has become the order of the day. Our teeming youths have no job and you can’t pinpoint any sector of our economy that is working well.
“All these are products of bad leadership and that is why am calling on Nigerians to go to the polls and use their votes wisely because enough is enough”.
Earlier while campaigning in Warri, the Labour Party flag bearer said the Obi-Datti Baba-Ahmed presidency has chosen to rebuild Nigeria and restore the citizen’s belief in the workability of the Nigerian state, assuring that they would make education work again and regular strikes by University lecturers would be a thing of the past.
Also addressing issues around wealth creation, Obi said; “You know that am a trader, business is my job. I know how to create wealth, and that is what we will do for Nigeria”.
On the urgent need to make Nigeria safe and secure, the Labour Party presidential Standard bearer further stated that; “Insecurity has become the order of the day. Our teeming youths have no job and you can’t pinpoint any sector of our economy that is working well.”
