2023 presidency: My strongest point is that Nigerians can trust me – Obi
The Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi, has said that his most important strong point in the race for the Presidency in 2023 is being trustworthy.
The Obi-Datti Media office quoted him as having made the comment in a number of tweets at the weekend.
Obi who urged Nigerians to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past advised against gambling with their fate and future.
The LP candidate said that he took the decision to contest the Presidency because he is qualified, committed, and has a track record of excellence in governance.
He stressed that Nigeria, at the moment works for a few rather than for all where all citizens should be safe and secure irrespective of location.
“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”
“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,” he said.
The former Anambra State governor said that the desire of Nigerians to take back their country is total and unanimous because everybody wishes for a better life.
“The 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.”
Obi lamented the damage successive bad leadership has done to the psyche of Nigerians and declared that “Nigeria is badly in need of a reformative leadership. Bad leadership has hurt us deeply, damaged our psyche and diminished our potential and dreams. “
Meanwhile the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has invited the Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi to inaugurate a major project in the state.
Obi is scheduled to commission the Nkpolu-Oroworokwo Flyover in Port Harcourt on Thursday, November 17th by 11 am.
Obi, a former Governor of Anambra State is a frontline contestant and a major force in the forthcoming Presidential election in 2023.
