Nobody Can Force Me Out Of Nigeria — Peter Obi Blows Hot
Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s (LP) candidate for president in the most recent general election, has stated that no one can make him leave Nigeria.
He said there are too many “thieves” who are causing the masses’ misery, and he pledged that his party is devoted to ridding the country’s political system of such individuals. He added that his party is determined to building a new Nigeria.
He declared that he would persist until such individuals were removed from all political positions in the nation.
The former governor of Anambra state lamented that the people of this nation are currently experiencing hardship and added that there is too much suffering in the nation during his speech at Onitsha Holiday Resort, Onitsha, yesterday. He was appealing to voters in this Saturday’s supplementary election in Ogbaru Federal Constituency.
Obi had earlier embarked on a road show campaign tour of the wards in the Constituency where the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, was slated to conduct a supplementary election to determine the ultimate winner of the federal constituency seat.
At the various spots where he presented the LP candidate in the constituency, Afam Ogene, to the people of the area, Obi who was accompanied by Senator-elect Tony Nwoye, and Mr. Oseloka Obaze, told the people that Ogene is committed to his(Obi’s) philosophy of “building a new Nigeria” and told the people “I am here to beg you to vote for us, vote for Labour Party, vote for Afam Ogene, we will support him, and, he will rebuild here (Ogbaru).”
“Remember that I built all these roads here when I was governor, if you vote for us in this Saturday’s re-run election, we will come back to thank you; Afam Ogene will develop here,” he said.
Meanwhile, the INEC had after the February 25 presidential and National Assembly Polls declared the election in Ogbaru federal constituency inconclusive, citing the inability of the commission to conduct an election in about 45 polling units, stating that it could not deploy electoral materials in some of them due to violence while election in some was cancelled as a result of malpractices.
