Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the 2023 Labour Party (LP), has urged Nigerians to speak up.
He stressed that Nigeria is in a state of collapse and urgently requires rescue, and he urged party members not to be afraid of anyone.
Speaking to party members at the current National Executive Council, or NEC, meeting in Abuja, Obi made this statement.
“Do not fear anybody. Those who were afraid yesterday didn’t do any better,” Obi said. “We must speak out when things are going wrong. Nigeria is collapsing. The numbers are clear; the indices are clear—people are getting poorer every day.”
The former Anambra State governor stressed the need for unity and inclusion within the party.
“The Labour Party has chosen to be a family, and we must do everything as a family. It’s not about Peter Obi’s choice; it’s everyone’s choice. This family excludes no one. We want to build a party that is fair and just.
“We want to go into the next election fully prepared, offering Nigerians the best and most competent candidates for the House of Representatives, the Senate, Governorships, and the Presidency.”
He also emphasised the relevance of party loyalty and competence among aspirants, adding that they want to correct the mistakes they made in the past.
“Anyone seeking to contest under our party must be a committed member, not just someone passing through. They must be competent,” he added.
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
