The presidential flagbearer of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has suspended his 2023 presidential campaign.
This was stated by the former governor of Anambra when he met with the governor of Benue State on Wednesday in Abuja.
His choice was motivated by the suffering of the people who were impacted by the flood that wreaked havoc in various parts of the nation last week.
Obi also urged the Peoples Democratic Party and the ruling All Progressives Congress presidential candidates, Atiku Abubakar and Bola Tinubu, to follow suit.
According to him, if the candidates can purchase their expression forms for millions of Naira, they should be able to render help to the victims who lost their properties during the flooding.
He said, “I personally stopped and told my people no more campaigns, until we are able to visit some of the sites and at least sympathise with those going through problems.”
I came to take permission and ask him (Ortom) if I wanted to visit some of the sites in Benue, as I am going to do in one or two other states.
“I am also calling other presidential candidates to stop campaigning and see what we can do.”
“If we can buy our forms for millions of naira, we should have some little thing to go with now that people are suffering, and at least show sympathy with them, and then we can continue.”
