Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party
(LP), has urged undecided voters to support him in the forthcoming presidential
election.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has
fixed the presidential and national assembly elections to hold on February 25.
The governorship and state house of assembly polls will take
place on March 11
Obi in a post on his official Twitter handle on Monday said Nigeria needs a leader who is capable of moving the country toward the direction of national rebirth.
“Good Morning
Nigeria. We are down the stretch with 12 Days to go. I have a message for
Nigerians, especially those that are sitting on the fence; It is DECISION
TIME!,” he writes.
“Every nation has significant moments in their history –when
a situation arises, which requires that nation to take specific steps that
would mark her turning point. Nigeria is at that historical junction. How we
have done as a nation is no longer in debate.
“We have done poorly due to bad leadership. We must now
seize this moment. We must save Nigeria now or never. Twelve days from now we
will be called upon to make very hard choices. It won’t be about tribe or
religion; it won’t be about the traditional sentiments of my turn.
“It will be about
National Interest. We have gambled with Nigeria, her destiny, and the fate of
our children. That must stop. We must revisit lessons learned and missed
opportunities. What Nigeria needs now is a visionary, transformational leader,
capable of moving the country in the direction of National Rebirth.
“For long we trusted the elders. Those of us born after
independence must now be given the opportunity to reshape the destiny of this
nation. What kind of a leader does Nigeria need at this time? We need leaders
who will take full responsibility to protect Nigerian lives, property, and
prosperity. That is what Datti and I represent.
“Banditry, kidnapping, farmer-herder clashes, millions of
children on our streets, hunger, unemployment, and poverty are not our portion.
It can’t be. This moment calls for a new kind of leader. We have set out our
vision and plan. We are asking Nigerians to give us the mandate to deliver on
them.
“We stand at a critical moment in our history as a nation.
We must not waste this moment. We must seize the moment.”
