Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 general election, on Saturday has urged Nigerians to vote out the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) which he said have been claiming to have structures.
The LP presidential candidate , who spoke in Osogbo, Osun State, at the presidential campaign rally held by his party, also said ethnicity and religious reasons, should not be considered by the voters in the next month’s poll.
Obi who was obviously taking swipes at the APC and PDP also promised to fight corruption, adding that he and his running mate, Datti Baba-Ahmed, had been successful businessmen before going into public administration.
“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 IDP 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,” he said.
