THUR, 29 SEPT, 2022-theGBJournal| Peter Obi, the Nigeria Labour Party presidential candidate has warned that those who contributed to ruining Nigeria cannot shy away from their role and complicity, as he reeled out a set of promises to Nigerians at a rally in Jos, Nigeria, to mark the official launch of the 2023 campaign season.
Obi is his campaign opening speech prayed for a peaceful and issue-based campaign that will eventually lead to God’s desire for a president that will be best suitable for our great country moving forward.
‘’There is no alternative to discussing the way forward. Those who contributed to ruining Nigeria cannot shy away from their role and complicity. NO more excuses!’’
Obi, in his speech to hundreds of thousands of supporters said: ‘’First, we must pray. We must pray for peaceful and successful elections; for the turnaround of our country and for the security of the members of the OBIdient Family and every participant including the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC throughout the duration of the exercise.
Second, we must summon up courage. The courage to stand up for what is right; to make the much needed sacrifices and ultimately, to rescue our country from those who have perfected State Capture.
Third, we must recommit ourselves to an issues-based campaign. Let us pray for a peaceful and issue-based campaign that will eventually lead to God’s desire for a president that will be best suitable for our great country moving forward.
For our part, the Obi-Datti administration represents, the HOPE, AND PROMISE for a united, secure and productive Nigeria and a transformative leadership that is imbued with competence, capacity, credibility and commitment. These 4 Cs, are leadership competencies required to turn Nigeria around.
And here is my promise to the great and peace loving people of the Middle Belt. Our administration will ensure that Nigerians are fully protected in their homesteads: and that their lives, properties and means of livelihood will always be secured. That, after all, is the Primary Responsibility of government.
We have no other country but Nigeria and we must learn to respect each other, tolerate and do things accordingly in order to create an atmosphere that will usher in unity, progress and the greatness we were destined for from inception.
God Almighty has blessed Nigeria. It is our job to make this country flourish once again, to regain her pride and to be a nation, where no one is oppressed.’’
The Labour Party campaign rally took place at the Rwang Pam Township Stadium
