The presidential candidate of Labour Party,Mr Peter Obi, has asked electorates in the country to vote out the rulling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the major opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the February 25, presidential elections.
Obi made the appeal in Osogbo,the capital of Osun State on Saturday reiterated call on Nigerians not to vote for political candidates based on ethnicity or religion.
He highlighted the challenges facing the country and Nigerians, telling the people to vote out the parties with structures and take back the country from them.
He said: “Nigerians are hungry, Youths have no job.
It is not safe to travel anywhere in Nigeria today. All these challenges are caused by those who say they have party structures. But these structures have crippled Nigeria.
“I want me and you to destroy these structures by voting them out next month.
“We are going to secure and unite Nigeria. We want Nigeria to be proud of being a Nigerian.
“We will deliver a secured Nigeria. We don’t want Nigerians to be in the IDP (Internally Displaced Persons) camp. We don’t want you to be a slave in your own country.
