Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party has urged his supporters to collect the money offered to them by opposition political parties and still vote for him.
The Labour Party candidate made the call on Thursday, December 22, 2022, at the Labour Party presidential rally in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
According to Obi, the money belongs to Nigeria but was “stolen” by those in government.
He said: “Let me tell you, that money they are giving you is your money, collect it, eat it and vote for me.
The money that I will give to you is that you will be employed, you will have healthcare, you will get education, I will make society work and you will become rich. I want to build a society where everybody is secure where a child of nobody will be able to become president of this country.”
Obi also expressed his intention to unite Nigeria and move it from consumption to production.
He urged Nigerians to hold him accountable while promising to revive the country, the same way he had “revived dead companies” in the past.
‘Forget Atiku, Peter Obi Is Our Only Worry’ – APC Chieftain Confesses
Ahead of the forthcoming presidential election, a chieftain of the All Progressive Congress, APC, Osita Okechukwu, has said his party is only worried about Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate and not about Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Okechukwu also said Bola Tinubu, APC’s presidential candidate, has come a long way and knows the country very well to win the 2023 presidential election, among other candidates.
The Director General of the Voice of Nigeria disclosed this on Monday, December 12, 2022 morning while featuring on the Arise Television Morning Show programme.
He said Atiku had lost his base and that he could not harvest Buhari’s 12 million votes.
“As per Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, what nobody can deny is that he knows the onion. He knows the gravitas, he knows the country, and he has come a long way. And we are not bothered about PDP; for instance, Atiku has lost his base.
“We are more bothered about Peter Obi and others. Kwankwaso, we know he is qualified and highly capable, but he is riding against the zoning convention. And so, if you tell us about Peter Obi, then we can say, ok, that is where we are worried, but not about Atiku, who has lost his base.
“Atiku cannot win; I challenge those who are saying so. He cannot harvest Buhari’s 12 million votes; he cannot. He does not have Buhari’s vote bank,” he said.
