He said, “Today, we have become the capital of poverty in the world, the capital of unemployment, the capital of insecurity, the capital of where people don’t have what to eat, that is what I and Datti want to change.
“I assure you that a new Nigeria is possible, with you we are going to have a new Nigeria. The next election is not about religion, is not about tribe and it is not anybody’s turn, it is your turn to take back Nigerian.
“We have come with our wives to secure and unite Nigeria. I am not contesting election because I am from the South East, I am contesting election because I am qualify and more qualified.”
Obi reaffirmed the commitment of Labour Party that they will protect the interest of all Nigerians irrespective of their tribe, religion and where they came from.
“We Labour Party, Nigeria will be great, we will move from consumption to produce, our students will go back to school, there will be no more ASUU strike, four years will be four years ad five years will be five years in school.”
Obi noted that their identity is clearly defined as Nigerians know where they are coming from and the schools they attended unlike some individuals whose identify is unknown with their age and the school they went to.
The Vice Presidential candidate, Dr. Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed said the APC and PDP government have failed Nigerians and reassured that their administration will no disappoint the people.
