Peter Obi Promises a New Nigeria at Abuja Summit

A new Nigeria is possible and will be achieved after winning the 2023 presidential election.
This was the promise on Thursday the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi.
Obi who led other leaders of the party at a summit in Abuja said he will reduce insecurity and poverty.
He said through job creation and what he called “reformative investments as mechanisms,” he will shift the nation’s economy from consumptive to productive mode.
Obi who later took to twitter handle to drive his message, said a new Nigeria is possible.
He tweeted, “After we win the 2023 elections, we intend to use the instruments of job creation and regenerative investments to drastically reduce the high incidence of insecurity and poverty, while moving the economy from the consumptive to the productive mode.
“Undoubtedly, the greatest challenge we face beyond bad leadership, is lack of elite consensus. But, let us not forget Dante Alighieri‘s admonition, that ‘The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in times of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality.’”
Obi also noted that history is germane in decision making, saying that the division of Nigeria must be prevented by making the right decision at the polls. He also said criminality surrounding oil subsidy will be terminated if he becomes president.
“History must serve as a tool in our decision making. The implosion of Nigeria has long been forecasted. Year 2023 could be a tipping point in the annals of our history. But that must not happen, even as the options before the electorate seem stark.
“Going forward, we must look for ways to move Nigeria beyond oil. We must end this criminality called ‘oil subsidy.’ Nigeria today is vastly polarised and wrecked by divisions that run deep along religious, ethnic and regional lines,” Obi added.
In an indirect reference to those who had derided him over lack of nationwide political structure, Obi said, “Finally, our structure is everyone seated in this hall today! Yes, we have structure, and we are ready to move mountains to save Nigeria.”
