The Vice presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP,
Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed has said Northern Nigeria is paying an extremely high
price for voting based on religion and ethnicity.
The former lawmaker disclosed this during ‘The Peoples
Townhall’ organised by Channels Television and its partners on Sunday. The
presidential candidate of the party, Peter Obi also made an appearance at the
event.
Baba-Ahmed said he and Obi would collectively work towards
solving all problems, including insecurity and corruption.
He said, “The day you will hear the sentence “President
Peter Obi”, Nigeria has already united. Once Nigerians are united, we will
collectively work towards solving all problems – insecurity, failed-failing
economy, and unprecedented aggravated corruption.
“We truly deserve the votes of Nigerians because this is one
election that is turning out to be about character backed by record, competence
and capacity. This is clearly not supposed to be an election about sentiments of
religion and ethnicity because right now, Nigeria is paying a very high price;
northern Nigeria is paying an extremely high price for voting based on religion
and ethnicity.
“We are going to stop the killings and start the healing;
stop the stealing, start the keeping; stop the slide of our currency and start
the climb of our society.”
