Peter Obi, the Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party (LP), has promised to end insecurity, poverty, and unemployment in Nigeria if elected in 2023.<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Obi made the promise at a rally organized by the Middle Belt Forum on Thursday in Jos.<\/p>\n

The LP candidate, who also promised to address hunger, unemployment, and corruption, said that he would promote the quality of education at all levels and improve the power supply.<\/p>\n

“If you elect me as your president, I will provide security at all levels so that our people can go to the farm and by so doing, the issue of food insecurity and hunger will be a thing of the past.<\/p>\n

“We will create jobs for our teeming unemployed youths and end poverty. We will make our educational system functional and improve the electricity supply.<\/p>\n

“We will block all leakages and end corruption at all levels; our government will be a responsible one. We will not fail Nigerians.<\/p>\n

“We want a new Nigeria, and we are determined to make Nigerians happy again,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Obi, however, advised the people to pray for peaceful and credible elections in 2023, adding that only credible polls would produce credible leaders.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Dr. Pogu Bitrus, the President of the Middle Belt Forum, said that the forum is in support of Obi\u2019s candidature, insisting that Obi\u2019s presidency would address the problems the middle belt has been faced with.<\/p>\n

Bitrus explained that the forum had thrown its weight behind Obi based on the principle of justice and fairness.<\/p>\n

“We didn\u2019t decide to support Peter Obi on sheer sentiments, but on the principle of justice and fairness.<\/p>\n

“Again, after a careful study, we realize that Obi is competent to take this nation out of its current challenges<\/p>\n

“So, we organized this rally to show that we are fully in support of his candidature,” he said.<\/p>\n

Also speaking, Prophet Isa El-buba, the convener of the Initiative for Better and Brighter Nigeria (IBBN), advised Nigerians to vote for credible and responsible leaders in 2023.<\/p>\n

El-buba said, as a preacher, he is supporting Obi because he believed he would salvage the nation from its current woes.<\/p>\n

He, however, called on Nigerians, not to sell their votes and ensure they vote for credible candidates in the forthcoming polls.<\/p>\n

Obi visited Da Gyang Buba, the Gbong Gwom Jos, and Chairman Plateau Council of Chiefs and Emirs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
