2023: Vote for me based on competence – Peter Obi tells Nigerians
The Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate in the 2023 general election, Mr Peter Obi, has told Nigerians to vote for him based on the competence he has not on ethnic or entitlement sentiments.
Speaking during the Presidential Town Hall series organized by Arise TV on Sunday, Obi said that Nigerians should vote for him because he has the capacity to take the country out of its current predicament.
He told Nigerians not to vote for Peter Obi “because he is from the South East, he is a Christian, an Igbo man, or it is his turn.”
The former Anambra State governor said, “I want you to vote for Peter Obi because I am qualified. Because I am competent. I know what I can do to put this country out of the brink.”
Obi stressed the need to strengthen and revive the local vigilante system in the country and have them work together with the police, believing that it would go a long way in solving the security challenges of the country.
The presidential candidate criticized the incumbent government for lack of proactiveness and failure to adhere to intelligence in forestalling the Abuja-Kaduna train attack and other security challenges Nigerians are faced with, saying that if he was the president, he would have done things differently to avert the tragedy Nigerians are going through.
