Peter Obi Vows To Show Agitators That There Is Government If Elected

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi has stressed that his government will negotiate with agitators if he is voted into power in the forthcoming general elections.

Peter Obi made this comment while addressing supporters and party members at the All Saints Cathedral Field in Onitsha, Anambra State on Tuesday.

While stressing that his government would negotiate with agitators in an attempt to secure Nigeria, the former governor of Anambra state noted that any agitator who refused to accept dialogue would be shown that there is a government.

He said, “All we are coming to do is to end suffering and build a new Nigeria. In Nigeria today, nobody is safe, and families are begging to eat. We will secure and unite Nigeria.

“What I did in Anambra, I will do in Nigeria. We will negotiate, but whoever refuses, we will tell him there is a government.

“Anambra is a trading and manufacturing city, we will support all businesses. We will do the same in Lagos, Kano, Kaduna, and Borno. Every part of Nigeria will be productive.

“We will open roads. Any tarred road you see in Onitsha was tarred by me. I built the best road network in Nigeria. Those who left Nigeria will come back; we will face exportation to stabilize and reverse the dwindling fortunes of the naira if we assume power.

“There is no combination between us and others, if you have not created wealth, you cannot manage it. Datti and I are businessmen. The only way Nigeria can change is to hand it over to wealth creators.”

Regarding his frugality, Peter Obi stated that the current state of Nigeria needs a stingy leader and that the presidency is not a place for retirees.

Obi said that he owes no one an explanation for being frugal, adding that he is the youngest, fittest, and most qualified candidate among the top four presidential candidates.

He added, “The presidency is not about turn, but about capacity because if it is about turn, people like us would insist that it is our turn and should be considered.

“The job of a President is not a retirement home or for any kind of settlement but about uniting and rebuilding the country.

“They said that I am a stingy man and I say they didn’t say that I am extravagant or that I embezzled public funds only that I am stingy and I tell you the job and the Presidency of our country needs a stingy person.”
