The Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, explained why the ruling All Progressive Congress, APC, could not address insecurity and revive the economy.
Obi said the problems bedevilling the country in the past seven years became insurmountable because APC led administration of President Muhammadu Buhari is a small party to reckon with.
The former governor of Anambra State said the ruling APC lack the wherewithal and competency to lead Nigerians to the Promised Land.
Obi stated this on Thursday during a Consultative Meeting with Stakeholders in Maiduguri, Borno State capital.
The LP Presidential Candidate, represented by his running mate, Dr Yusuf Datti, said he was in Borno State to chat a way forward as the party prepares for its nationwide Campaigns to seek mandates from Nigerian people to ‘Change the Change’ come 2023.
He said, ” I am in Borno for a personal assessment tour to see for myself the particular challenges, peculiarities, key individuals and trends in the state, especially the established voting patterns and how our great Obedient Party, the LP will reform it to favour us in the forthcoming 2023 general elections.
“After this meeting, we will go back and sit down with the Presidential Campaign Council, PCC as Obedient Movement, just to enhance the already existing brilliant chances and opportunities of winning the 2023 Presidential election by God’s Grace,” Datti said.
He alleged that “apart from LP which is the only political party that has a good structure to rescue the lost glory of Nigerians, the ruling APC and all other political parties are the configurations of money collecting party officials who are only interested in selfish aggrandizement.
“The increasing insecurity such as insurgency, banditry, kidnapping coupled with the economic meltdown and attendant poverty bedevilling the country in the past seven years became insurmountable because, the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC led administration of President Muhammadu Buhari is a small party to reckon with.
“Besides, the APC as a political party lack the wherewithal and competency to lead Nigerians to the Promised Land.
“It will interest you to know that the Tsunami that happened during the last elections in the North West and North East in favour of President Buhari is ongoing in all the six geo-political zones in favour of the LP, I have been to Sokoto state which is the seat of the Caliphate, I have been to Adamawa state, and I am now in Borno, and I have seen what is on the ground, Nigerians, especially our youths and women are really redefining Nigerian politics, not strictly about the state of origin, religion or tribe, but about people like Peter Obi who is ready to reunite this country and safe us from all shackles of insecurity, poverty and unemployment,” Datti stated.
