Peter Obi, Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party (LP), has promised to build an egalitarian, free and prosperous Nigeria if elected in 2023.
Obi spoke on Friday in Abakaliki at an event organised in his honour by the Ebonyi chapter of the Civil Society Action Group (CSAG).
Obi who was represented by Sen. Azu Agboti, his Presidential Campaign Coordinator in Ebonyi, urged the people not to lose hope in the Nigerian project saying, ‘there is light at the end of the tunnel.”
He said the Labour Party’s campaign would be issue-based and anchored on addressing social, economic and security issues affecting the people, especially the ordinary Nigerians.
The LP candidate who was endorsed and adopted by the group as their preferred presidential candidate in the 2023 election, thanked the group for endorsing him and other candidates of his party in the state.
“Our campaigns will be issue-based, x-raying our programmes and the agenda we have to further launch Nigeria into the path of progress; prosperity and egalitarianism,” Obi said.
The LP presidential hopeful declared support for Chief Edward Nkwegu, the LP governorship candidate in Ebonyi, saying the endorsement was based on the candidate’s character, competence, capacity and antecedents in human management and wealth creation as an industrialist.
Meanwhile, Nkwegu, the governorship hopeful, said his agenda would guarantee economic transformation in Ebonyi, with bold enablers through rapid industrialisation of the state.
