The Labour Party presidential flag bearer, Peter Obi says he will rebuild Nigeria if voted as president in the 2023 election.
He said this while addressing party supporters at the Baptist Convention Ground venue of the Labour Party’s Presidential rally on Friday in Benin.
He assured the people, particularly youths and women, of his commitment towards securing the nation for the overall interest of Nigerians.
Obi said that if elected President of Nigeria, the people would no longer go to bed hungry.
“We will stop people from looting the nation’s treasury.
“It’s about you (referring to the youths), with you, we will take back this country.
“Labour Party will stop nepotism, that is my commitment,” Obi said.
The Oba of Benin, Oba Ewuare II, who earlier received the LP presidential candidate and his running mate, Yusuf Datti, in his palace in Benin, said Obi’s reputation preceded him.
Obi told the Oba that he was in the palace with his team to seek the monarch’s blessings as he embarked on his campaign.
He said the forthcoming elections should not be based on religious or ethnic sentiment, but on competency and one who could deliver to Nigerians the dividends of democracy.
Obi assured that if elected, his government would leverage the country’s population and vast lands to boost the nation’s Gross Domestic Product and make life better for Nigerians.
