2023: Peter Obi Promises To Transform Nigeria, Eradicate Poverty

The presidential candidate of Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi has promised to build a new Nigeria devoid of mass poverty and criminalities if he emerges president in 2023.

Obi made this known on Wednesday at his presidential campaign rally in Makurdi, Benue State.

He promised to invest heavily in education and ensure that unemployment became history in Nigeria, adding that he would ensure that the youth are gainfully engaged by empowering them with skills.

Obi also pledged to address the security challenge bedevilling the country, especially Benue to ensure quick return of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) back to their ancestral homes.

“We will secure and bring peace to Benue so that those at the IDP camps will go back to their homes and farms and we will support them in production.

“Benue will be supported to become an exporting state considering that it is an agriculturally rich state,” Obi said.

He promised that Rivers Benue and Niger would be dredged to enhance water transportation in Nigeria, promising also to end crude oil theft in the country for the benefit of all Nigerians.

“With Obi and Datti, a new Nigeria is possible and I dare to say that Nigerians can hold me responsible if we do not turn Nigeria around for good,” he said.

On his part, the governorship candidate of the party in the state, Heman Hembe promised regular payment of workers salaries in the state.
