Peter Obi, the presidential candidate for the Labour Party, warned Nigerians on Saturday not to support dishonest candidates in the elections of 2023.
In Lafia, Nasarawa State, during the LP presidential campaign’s flag-off, Obi made the statement and reaffirmed his party’s commitment to helping Nigerians escape poverty.
The former governor of Anambra State emphasised to Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that the Presidential Villa in Abuja was not a retirement community.
He attributed the nation’s impoverishment to the leaders’ avarice.
Obi said: “Don’t vote for people stealing your money. We are young and educated and mean well to you. We’re committed to forming an energetic government of the youth and women. It won’t longer be the government and old people.
“Governance is not a retirement home. You are hungry because those people have stolen your money. Reject them in 2023. Let’s take back our country and move it from consumption to production.”
