This nation cannot continue in its all-around retrogressive movement in the coming years, as that will result in its total collapse. 2023 is an existential year in the history of our nation. It is a year we all must unite against the continued abuse of our nation’s democracy and economy. The power is in our hands to take back our nation, this year, and make it work. I call on Nigerians to support me in saving our nation. My commitment is securing the country, unifying the nation, and moving it from consumption to production.
I call on Nigerians to hold me accountable for my promises for a better nation when I am elected. I have made a pact with Nigerians and I will not leave any of my promises unfulfilled. Nigerians can hold me accountable for my words of promise.
I wish Nigerians a very productive 2023 and urge everyone to remain law-abiding while contributing to the growth and development of the nation. – PeterObi”
Obi who defected to the Labour Party middle of 2022 seems to have the backing of former presidents particularly Chief Olusegun Obasanjo who made a public declaration of his support to him in a letter addressed to young Nigerians on Sunday.
Former President Obasanjo stated that of all the candidates in the contest, Peter Obi has the edge and capacity to lead Nigerians and enjoined youths to take a stand and elect a capable hand to run the affairs of the country.
