The 2027 Nigeria Democratoc Congress Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi, has assured Nigerians of fulfilling all his campaign promises as he pledged that there will be no fake promise.
Obi made the pledge in a statement issued on his X handle on Tuesday.
The ex-Anambra governor said the assurance is part of the message relayed to the NDC supporters during a town hall meeting in Sokoto State.
He recounted how he had met with the people shortly after paying a courtesy visit to the Sultan of Sokoto on Monday.
“Yesterday, 28th September, after paying a courtesy call on His Eminence, the Sultan of Sokoto, we had a very engaging Town Hall with the people of Sokoto.
“It was an opportunity to listen, answer questions, and speak honestly about the Nigeria we want to build together.
“The questions were clear: unity, security, education, subsidy, healthcare, corruption, poverty, agriculture, power, infrastructure, ethnicity, and the future of our country.
“Our message was equally clear: there will be no fake promises. We must unite the country and confront insecurity decisively, while also addressing human insecurity.” He said.
Obi alsp harped on the need to collectively fight the societal ills in the country, partiuclarly poverty, unemployment, and hunger amongst others.
“We must fight poverty, unemployment, hunger, and hopelessness if we are to reduce criminality and create a safer society.
“We discussed money politics and its devastating consequences. When poverty becomes the instrument through which politicians buy votes, citizens are trapped in a cycle where the same system that impoverishes them is repeatedly rewarded.” He said.
The NDC presidential candodate also charged Nigerians to break the cycle of bad leadership.
“We must break this cycle of bad leadership driven by transactional politics.
“The work ahead is enormous. But with courage, competence, compassion, character, and the collective determination of Nigerians, we can begin to change the story.” He added.
