2023: Peter Obi Has Given Nigerians Hope – Datti Speaks Ahead Of Presidential Election

The Vice Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed has urged Nigerians to troop out en masse next Saturday and vote for Peter Obi as the next President of the country.

Baba-Ahmed submitted that Obi remains the best candidate to take over from President Muhammadu Buhari in May 2023.

The LP running mate said the country has been plagued with bad leadership, insecurity, corruption and other vices but if Obi emerges President, all those will become a thing of the past.

He called on Nigerians not to shy away from the polls due to current hardships but troop out to vote for the Labour Party who represents a sign of hope and a better Nigeria.

“The good news is the arrival of LP and its most admired, remarkable and inspirational leader, Peter Obi who has changed the dynamics of Nigerian politics for good.

“ He has mobilised Nigerians, giving them hope to believe that a new Nigeria devoid of bad leadership, insecurity, and corruption is possible.

“ Also possible, is a country propelled by good governance and production to significantly improve the general well-being of the vast majority of Nigerians and guarantee their security and prosperity,’’ Baba-Ahmed said during a press conference on Friday.

The Labour Party vice presidential candidate commended supporters of the party popularly called obidients for being optimistic about taking back their country.

He commended the tenacity, energy and courage shown by the party supporters and urged them to make it count at the polls.

“This is the stark difference between us and others and why we call on all Nigerians to troop out next Saturday and vote for LP.

“A vote for LP is a vote for a secure and progressive nation; it is a vote for unity and an appreciation that our diversity is a major strength which we must promote to our advantage.’’

Obi Will Bring Change

He added that a vote for Peter Obi at the February 25 election is a vote for a new Nigeria.

“We shall stop the stealing and start the keeping. We shall stop the slide and start the climb of our economy. Vote for Labour Party for a New Nigeria,’ he said.

“To my dear Nigerians, you have the best opportunity to take back your country and usher in a new Nigeria.

“I urge you to troop out, vote LP and protect your right to a New Nigeria, let’s get it done,“ he added.

Ignore Naira Scarcity

Datti Baba-Ahmed further appealed to Nigerians not to allow the scarcity of new naira notes to deter them from voting in the February 25 elections.

He challenged Nigerians to hold them accountable if they failed to move Nigeria from consumption to a productive economy and improve the country.

“Hold us responsible, if we fail to cut waste in government or drastically fight corruption which has permeated every segment and sector of our national life.

“We make these promises because of what we are offering Nigerians, leadership with character, competence, knowledge and compassion.

“Next Saturday, Nigerians will be expected to make the most important decision in the history of the country, a decision that will determine and shape the future of Nigeria.

“The past eight years have witnessed the most lamentable failures in terms of promises made for change.

“ Even if you are angry with the country and the leadership because of the sufferings you are going through, take your anger to the polls and vote out those who have impoverished you through bad governance,“ he said.
