Nigeria can’t be handed over to sick leaders in 2023 – LP

Julius Abure, national chairman of the Labour Party (LP), says Nigeria needs a healthy and vibrant leader and not one afflicted by infirmity in 2023.

Speaking on Saturday during the LP presidential campaign flag-off in Lafia, the Nasarawa capital, Abure noted the challenges faced by the country is as a result of poor leadership.

“All the challenges we have been having in the country is zeroed down to leadership problem,” he said.

“Our presidential candidate no dey go hospital; he is strong. Our presidential candidate no dey sick; the vice-presidential candidate no dey sick.

“Today, the country is sick. It is sick from insecurity; it is sick from unemployment; the economy is not working.

“If you put everything together, the country is sick and we cannot hand it over to sick people.

“We need vibrant, young, energetic people who can be awake day and night to solve the problems of the country and we have that person.

“We also need somebody who has character, integrity — somebody that will not take our money abroad.”
