Presidential candidate of the Labour Party and former governor of Anambra State, Mr Peter Gregory Obi has reiterated his commitment toward a better Nigeria, saying that he lead would the nation out of poverty to greatness if elected as the president in three weeks time.
Obi who disclosed this during a town hall meeting in Umuahia, Abia State, said it is time for Nigerians to take Nigeria back from cabals that crippled it.
He said, “it is the turn of Nigerians to take back their country” from the few holding the country by the jugular. We are going to build a new Nigeria. Yes, a new Nigeria is possible and that’s why I’m in the race. I will build a new Nigeria where we shall all be proud of the green passport. I will build a new Nigeria where we shall move from consumption to production.
According to him, “APC has given us insecurity and hunger, fuel scarcity and ASUU strike. No state in Nigeria is safe again. If given the opportunity, I will restructure the entire security architecture of Nigeria to provide security for all citizens.
“We have voted for the umbrella but we didn’t get any protection. We voted for the broom but it has swept us into poverty and hardship. All we got from APC and PDP are hunger and suffering. Now, it’s time to vote for the father, mother and children (LP logo).
“What we need now is the family so that we can recover from our fallen state. I’m not going to win because I’m from South East but because I’m competent and ready to build a new Nigeria. I’m prepared to lead Nigeria out of poverty to greatness. I have done it before in Anambra, I will replicate the feat in the entire country if you give me a chance.”
He said, “I visited Aba in the morning and I saw that we have over 60,000 shoemakers in Aba. Industrial activities going on in Aba will be properly harnessed. Give me two years and Aba and Port Harcourt will join together. I’m not going to change the name but both towns will be so developed that they will become one City, and people won’t know the difference between them again.
“The biggest asset in Nigeria is the uncultivated land in the North yet we can’t feed ourselves. The Netherlands has a smaller landmass with a lesser human population but it is an agricultural giant,” he said.
