Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s (LP) presidential candidate for the 2023 election, has declared his continuous commitment to the development of the nation and her continued positive position in Africa.
This was declared by Obi in a statement on Thursday in response to the publication of the new book “Hands Off Africa” by Pope Francis, which has Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s introduction.
He reaffirmed his appeal for Nigerians to reclaim their homeland, stating emphatically that only Nigerians are capable of saving Nigeria and that it is our exclusive possession with which to grow and prosper.

He wrote: “I am glad to see the release of the new book, “Hands Off Africa”, written by Pope Francis and prefaced by our literary ambassador and global author – Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.
“The book whose release is timely, touches on a very critical point of discontinuing the exploitation of Africa by the Western powers. As Pope Francis suggests, “May Africa be the protagonist of its own destiny!”
“I have consistently called on Nigerians to take back their country because only Nigerians can save Nigeria. This is the only nation that we have, and it is ours to build and develop.”
“When I rejected the dual citizenship of other countries years back, I was conscious that Nigeria as the only country that I have will need my full attention and commitment in the years to come.
“I remain committed to the progress of our nation, Nigeria, and to her continued constructive role in Africa.”
