UpNorth Ambassadors: Peter Obi has all it takes to move Nigeria forward

A group, UpNorth Ambassadors for Obi/Datti, has called on Nigerians, particularly those at the grassroots to vote for Peter Obi, the Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the forthcoming general elections.

Convener of the group, Mr. Chigozie Ifeanyi-Chukwu, made the call at the opening of a 3-day workshop for its coordinators across the 19 northern states on Saturday in Jos.

Ifeanyi-Chukwu said that the workshop, with the theme ”Leadership Workshop on Strategic Grassroot Mobilisation for Peter Obi”, was in collaboration with Initiative for a Better and Brighter Nigeria (CBBN)

He explained that the workshop aimed at equipping members of the forum, particularly its state coordinators, with strategic knowledge to carry out the grassroots campaign for the Labour Party presidential candidate

”Because of the task that lies ahead of us, we decided to put together this strategic workshop with the aim of increasing our campaign for Peter Obi at the grassroots

”We have started moving into the corners of this country, particularly the hard-to-reach communities in the North East and North West, and so, we felt there is a need for us to sensitize our coordinators in order to strategically canvass votes for Peter Obi

”This group is largely made up of young people who are deeply concerned and passionate about changing the state of things in this country for the better.

”We believe Peter Obi has all it takes to move this nation forward; we believe that with Obi as president of this country, Nigeria will be great and this is why we will go into the crannies and hinterlands to canvass votes for him,” he said.

Ifeanyi-Chukwu explained that the group depended on free-will donations from spirited individuals and organizations for its funding and called on other spirited Nigerians to support the movement.

Also, Mr. Joseph Umbugadu, Head of the Mobilisation, Strategy, and Planning of the group, said their support for Obi was borne out of their conviction that he would better the lots of Nigerians if elected in 2023.
