Obi to Nigerians: Vote out parties claiming they have structures

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, has urged Nigerians to vote out the major political parties who have been claiming they have political structures to take or retain power.

Obi, who highlighted the challenges facing the country and Nigerians, urged the electorate to vote out the parties with structures and take back the country from them.

The LP presidential flag-bearer made the call during his presidential campaign rally in Osogbo, the Osun State capital, on Saturday.

The former governor of Anambra State, however, urged Nigerians not to vote for political candidates based on ethnicity or religion.

Obi said: “Nigerians are hungry, youths have no job.

“It is not safe to travel anywhere in Nigeria today. All these challenges are caused by those who say they have party structures. But these structures have crippled Nigeria.

“I want me and you to destroy these structures by voting them out next month.

“We are going to secure and unite Nigeria. We want Nigeria to be proud of being a Nigerian.

“We will deliver a secured Nigeria. We don’t want Nigerians to be in the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camp. We don’t want you to be a slave in your own country.

“We are going to govern this country with fear of God. We will give you jobs. We will change Nigeria from consuming country to producing country.

“These people kept on bragging that they have structures. Yet, they are not doing anything. They are not producing anything in this state, youths are unemployed, we will change these challenges.”

Obi added that he and his running mate, Datti Baba-Ahmed, had been successful businessmen before going into public administration, stressing that were positioned  to turn around the economy of the country.

He equally promised to fight corruption and tackle insecurity if elected president in the 2023 presidential election.
