Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s (LP) presidential candidate for 2023, has reaffirmed his commitment to building a better and more modern Nigeria.
In light of this, he urged Nigerians to continue to be patriotic, to pray for their nation, and to uphold the law.
According to Newsmen, the former governor of Anambra State indicated on Wednesday night through Twitter that he and other members of his camp had been provoked during the recently held general elections for 2023, but he also emphasized the need to maintain composure.

Obi commended President Muhammadu Buhari for enacting the “Not Too Young to Run Act,” and he added that he thought Nigeria’s youth would soon assume control of the government.
The Labour Party’s flagbearer argues that a new Nigeria is quite likely and begs all Nigerians to maintain their hope and trust in the country.
He emphasized that the numerous millions of Nigerians who supported him and Yusuf Datti with their votes also put their hope in them for a new Nigeria.
In his words, “Recent events in our country, including political developments in Adamawa state, underline the importance of adhering to the rule of law. As a patriotic Nigerian who has served this country diligently.
“I remain committed to serving the Nigerian people and achieving a greater Nigeria in which everyone will be a beneficiary of our God-given wealth of abundant human and natural resources.

“Nigeria is a truly blessed and potentially great nation. With the Almighty God on our side, Nigeria’s greatness will soon manifest fully, thus ensuring that she is well-respected globally.
“In view of this, l ask all well-meaning Nigerians to commit their heart to prayers for a better and greater Nigeria.
“It bears reiterating as I did yesterday at the National Executive Council Meeting of the Labour Party held in Asaba, that the millions of Nigerians who voted for Datti and I did not just cast their votes, but they invested their hope in us for a new Nigeria.
“So we must stay the course. H.E. President Muhammadu Buhari asked Nigerian youths to have faith in Nigeria and prepare for leadership roles when he signed the ‘Not Too Young to Run Act’ into law.
“I agree with him that we have enough vibrant and intelligent Nigerian youths ready to propel Nigeria to greatness, and it is my desire and commitment to empower Nigerian youths to leadership.
“Yet, we must do our utmost to be calm even under provocation; we must also not allow those bent on using any pretext to plunge our country into chaos and leave our youths without a future to succeed.
“We were provoked during the elections, but we showed restraint, patriotism and wisdom because we were voting for a greater Nigeria and not for the destruction of Nigeria. They deployed agents who killed and maimed many, including innocent women, but we kept our cool.
“I plead to every Nigerian to keep the faith and hope in Nigeria alive. We are on this journey together, and better and happier years await all of us. God bless the good people of Nigeria and the Federal Republic of Nigeria. -PO”
