The Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 presidential election, Peter Obi, has declared he will no longer remain silent about the challenges facing Nigerians.
Obi, a former Governor of Anambra State, criticized the administration of President Bola Tinubu, blaming it for the worsening economic conditions and hardship endured by citizens.
Speaking during an interview with Arise TV, Obi expressed his frustration with the state of the nation, emphasizing his readiness to confront the issues head-on.
“I’m ready for anything; we can’t keep quiet anymore. Nigerians are suffering,” Obi asserted.
“Opposition politics in Nigeria is difficult—people don’t want to associate with you. I have made up my mind, that if this is the end, so be it.”
Obi, in a continuation of his New Year engagements, has visited prominent current and past leaders in the northern region of the country.
He wrote: “In continuation of my New Year engagements, I visited Jigawa State to commiserate with and stand in solidarity with my brother, the Governor, His Excellency Mallam Umar A. Namadi, during this difficult time as he mourns the painful loss of both his mother and his son.
My thoughts and prayers are with him, his family, and the people of Jigawa as they navigate this profound grief.
May Almighty Allah protect, bless, grant him and his family the strength and solace to endure this difficult period and find comfort in the love and support of those around them.
In another post, Obi wrote: “From Jigawa state, I travelled to Minna, Niger State to pay a visit to a father figure, elder statesman and leader, the former military president, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, at his residence in Minna, Niger State.
The visit was an opportunity to wish him a happy New Year and to exchange thoughts on national issues.
General Babangida’s wisdom and perspectives remain very important and I always deeply appreciate the chance to visit him and listen to his invaluable advise and words of wisdom.
A new Nigeria is POssible!
