According to Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s (LP) presidential candidate for 2023, Nigeria is disintegrating rapidly due to rising poverty rates.
He also stated that only Nigerians can reclaim their party from the governing class, which has persisted to ensure that, despite the country’s enormous potential, its people continue to live in poverty.
During his presidential campaign in Taraba State, Obi made the statement on Wednesday at the Jolly Nyame Stadium in Jalingo, the state capital.

He said, “Nigeria is collapsing and it is doing so very fast. We have 133 million people in poverty and Taraba is no exception. It is happening here where we have millions of people who don’t know where the next meal will come from. That is what I and Baba-Ahmed wants to reverse.”
Also, Obi’s running mate, Datti Baba-Ahmed said, “Nigeria is waging a war; that war is not between tribes, it is not between faiths – it is between the good people of Nigeria and bad governance and that war we must win.”
They told stakeholders in the state that if elected, they will run the country from states where the country’s potential, both people and capital, is situated, rather than Abuja.
