The presidential flagbearer of the Labour Party, Peter Obi
has suspended his 2023 presidential campaign.
The former Anambra governor made this known when he visited
the Benue State Governor in Abuja on Wednesday.
His decision was birthed by the plight of citizens who were
affected by the flood that caused havoc in several places in the country last
week.
Obi also called on the presidential candidates of Peoples
Democratic Party, and the ruling All Progressives Congress, Atiku Abubakar and
Bola Tinubu to follow suit.
According him, if the candidates can purchase their
expression forms for millions of Naira, they should be able to render help to
the victims who lost their properties during the flooding.
He said, “I personally stopped and told my people no more
campaign, until we are able to visit some of the sites, at least sympathise
with those going through problems.
“I came to take permission and ask him (Ortom) that I want
to visit some of the sites in Benue as I am going to do in one or two other
states.
“I am also calling other presidential candidates to stop
campaigning and see what we can do.
“If we can buy our forms for millions of naira, we should have some little thing to go, now that people are suffering, and at least show sympathy with them and then we can continue.”
