Peter Obi,
presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), says he is the right man to
guide Nigeria to recovery.
Obi, in an article published by The Economist on
Wednesday, said he and Datti Baba-Ahmed, his running mate, are committed to
providing the kind of leadership that Nigerians yearn for.
The LP candidate said if elected, his administration will
tackle insecurity, boost the country’s economy, provide job opportunities for
youths, improve electricity and attract foreign investment into the country.
“Nigeria witnessed several events last year that shook it to the core. These included militia attacks, abductions and extrajudicial killings,” Obi said.
“Our federal
government has failed to secure the country, protect our economy and secure the
future of our youth.
“With an estimated population of 217m sitting at the heart
of Africa, a dominant youthful population made up of the brightest and bravest
in the world, unlimited capacity for economic growth and the potential to lead
Africa, Nigeria is worth saving. And I believe I am the right person to guide
it to recovery.
“In a matter of days, Nigerians will be voting for their
next president, who will be tasked with the responsibility of steering the
country out of its current devastating predicament.
“We must persuade our
brightest young people not to leave the country by opening up the economy,
promoting privatisation and creating entrepreneurial opportunities.
“We must tackle our security challenges through a holistic
approach in four key areas: digital security, economic security, physical
security and social security.
“My running mate, Datti Baba-Ahmed, and I are committed to
providing the kind of leadership that Nigerians yearn for: leadership that
believes in the dignity of every Nigerian; leadership with the moral fibre and
courage to confront the cabals holding the country hostage; leadership with a
well-intentioned strategy for delivering our vision for a united Nigeria that
works for all and leaves nobody behind.
“Nothing gives us more hope of this possibility than the
organic movement for a new Nigeria, driven by its young people, who say that
they are inspired by my candidacy and message of possibilities. They call
themselves the Obidients, and I am their biggest admirer.”
