The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi, has assured his supporters of his readiness to contest in the 2027 elections.
He noted that he had in good authority that the federal
government does not want him to contest, insisting that he will come out even
if the elections are being held figuratively in their “bedroom.”
Speaking in Uyo at the OBIDIENT Conference and Official
Declaration for ADC with the theme, Activating the PO Effect in ADC,” on
Saturday, Obi urged the people to join hands with him to rescue Nigeria for the
future generations, who, according to him, will suffer the consequences of bad
governance going on in the country for decades.
The former Anambra governor stated that the current
administration has collected more loans than every other administration,
adding that most of the loans will be repaid from 2045 to 2050, when most of
the people who plunged the country into indebtedness will have gone.
On why he left the Labour Party, Obi said, ” Democracy must
work, I left Labour party when I got informed that as long as I remain in the
party, INEC will not recognize its leadership, that the federal government
don’t want me on ballot paper, but I want to assure you that I will contest the
coming election even if it holds in their bedroom and if they don’t want to
transmit the results, we will transmit it for them.
According to him, Nigeria must get it right in 2027;
election results must be transmitted online in real time, and whoever fails to
transmit results will be transmitted”
Obi, who assured that his administration will invest heavily
in education and health if elected, averred that most of the great countries
across the world achieved greatness through intentional investment in
education, adding that he will do everything possible to pull people out of
poverty to reduce criminality.
The presidential aspirant said he will tour the entire
country and also all higher institutions to see the real challenges on ground,
stressing that he wants to help fix Nigeria now that he has the strength to
undertake any difficult task, adding that those joining him to realize his
ambition must understand that the priority is the future and well-being of the
people.
He promised to rid Nigeria of corruption, saying that the
menace would be reduced by 60 per cent once a leader and his family have nothing
to do with corruption.
He added, ” When I became governor of Anambra State, I
advised my wife to forget about the office of first lady because we were not
elected together. I approved over 100 C of Os of government lands, but have none
for myself or family. If you find any, petition me to appropriate authority.
Also addressing the people, Dr Tanko Yunusa, the coordinator
of OBIDIENT movement worldwide, urged Nigerians to mobilize from every nook and
cranny of the country for the 2027 general election.
He urged them to channel their collective energy into the
African Democratic Congress as the vehicle for transformation and victory in
2027.
On his own, the Akwa Ibom State Coordinator of the OBIDIENT
movement, Dr Ben Smith, urged members to be united in pursuit of their goal as
divisions or factions will derail the dream of a new Nigeria.
