2023: What I Intend To Do If I Become Next Nigeria President – Peter Obi

Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s (LP) presidential candidate, has reiterated his commitment to reducing poverty and insecurity if elected to lead Nigeria in 2023.

BrandNewsDay reports that Obi made this disclosure following a meeting Labour Party organized with Nigerian youths on Thursday.

This online news platform confirmed that the LP presidential flagbearer made these revelations in a series of tweets on his verified Twitter page.

The former governor of Anambra State wrote in a tweet, “After we win the elections in 2023, we want to employ the tools of job creation and regenerative investments to significantly lower the high prevalence of insecurity and poverty while transitioning the economy from a consumptive to a productive mode.

“Undoubtedly, the greatest challenge we face beyond bad leadership is lack of elite consensus. But, let us not forget Dante Alighieri‘s admonition, that ‘The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in times of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality.’”

Obi also noted that history is germane in decision-making, saying that the division of Nigeria must be prevented by making the right decision at the polls. He also said criminality surrounding oil subsidy will be terminated if he becomes president.

Making the proper choice at the polls is essential to preventing the split of Nigeria, according to Obi, who also underlined the importance of history in decision-making. Additionally, he stated that if he is elected president, oil subsidy-related crime will be put to an end.

“History must serve as a tool in our decision-making. The implosion of Nigeria has long been forecasted. The year 2023 could be a tipping point in the annals of our history. But that must not happen, even as the options before the electorate seem stark.

“Going forward, we must look for ways to move Nigeria beyond oil. We must end this criminality called ‘oil subsidy.’ Nigeria today is vastly polarised and wrecked by divisions that run deep along religious, ethnic and regional lines,” Obi added.

The former governor stated, “Finally, our structure is everyone seated in this hall today! He has been heavily criticized for lacking structures to help him win the election! Yes, we are organized and willing to do whatever it takes to save Nigeria.
