Obi: Why I’m running for presidency

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, says he is vying for the presidency over Nigerians’ trust in him.

Obi equally said he is the most qualified presidential candidate, noting that he has the capacity, commitment, and governance experience to be Nigeria’s President.

He said this in a series of tweets on his verified Twitter handle over the weekend.

The LP presidential candidate stated: “We can no longer gamble with our fate and future. I’m running for President because, I am qualified, I have the capacity, credibility, commitment, stamina, governance experience, and track record. More importantly, Nigerians can trust me.”

Obi noted that Nigeria has only been working for a small minority of people, saying: “There is Nigeria, but there are no Nigerians. Currently, Nigeria works for a small minority of people; Nigeria must work for all Nigerians. Nigerians must be able to dwell securely and in safety wherever they live. This is the first duty of government.”

The former governor of Anambra State added that the desire of Nigerians’ desire “to take Nigeria back is nearly unanimous”.

“We may be used to the old order; but we cannot vote for continuity of corruption, recklessness, impunity and poverty. Deprivation is not habit forming. Nigerians desire a better life.

“Nigeria is badly in need of a reformative leadership. Bad leadership has hurt us deeply, damaged our psyche and diminished our potentials and dreams,” Obi said.
