The 2023 Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, Peter Obi has called on Nigerians to speak up.
He urged party members not to fear anyone, stressing that Nigeria is in a state of collapse and urgently needs rescue.
Obi stated this while addressing party members during the ongoing National Executive Council, NEC, meeting in Abuja.
“Do not fear anybody. Those who were afraid yesterday didn’t do any better,” Obi said. “We must speak out when things are going wrong. Nigeria is collapsing. The numbers are clear; the indices are clear—people are getting poorer every day.”
The former Anambra State governor stressed the need for unity and inclusion within the party.
“The Labour Party has chosen to be a family, and we must do everything as a family. It’s not about Peter Obi’s choice; it’s everyone’s choice. This family excludes no one. We want to build a party that is fair and just.
“We want to go into the next election fully prepared, offering Nigerians the best and most competent candidates for the House of Representatives, the Senate, Governorships, and the Presidency.”
He also emphasised the relevance of party loyalty and competence among aspirants, adding that they want to correct the mistakes they made in the past.
“Anyone seeking to contest under our party must be a committed member, not just someone passing through. They must be competent,” he added.
