African Democratic Congress, ADC, chieftain, Peter Obi, has urged Nigerians to focus on the country’s future and vote for a change in leadership.
Obi spoke at a meeting with Hausa/Fulani chiefs in Abuja on
Wednesday.
“We have to talk about the future of our country. All of you
know what is happening to our country today. That’s why we are campaigning that
you vote out this government,” he said.
He described the situation in Nigeria as dire, citing
insecurity, hunger and hardship.
“today we have insecurity across Nigeria. We have hunger
across Nigeria. We are suffering across Nigeria. The only thing that is working
in Nigeria today is bad news. Every morning you wake up is bad news,” Obi
stated.
The former Labour Party presidential candidate said a new
administration would prioritize social services.
“We’re urging you to vote for a change and bring a new
Nigeria, where our children will be in school. Our hospitals will work,” he
added.
Obi also questioned government spending priorities,
particularly in the health sector.
“today, if you’re sick in Nigeria you’re praying to Almighty
God because we’re now in a country where our president spends 360 billion to
buy and refit his plane and spends 36 million in capital vote for the Ministry
of Health. There’s nothing working,” he said.
He appealed to Nigerians to use their votes to usher in what
he described as a “new Nigeria” focused on improving citizens’ welfare and
restoring key public services.
