This project is yours and for the future of your children. I am just a facilitator.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince I resigned from the PDP because of issues that are at variance with my persona and principles, I have consulted widely with various parties and personalities to ensure we do not complicate the route to our desired destination.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor me, the process of achieving our goal is as fundamental as what one will do thereafter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTherefore, I have chosen a route that I consider to be in line with our aspirations and my mantra of taking the country from consumption to production; and that is the Labour Party which is synonymous with the people, workers, development, production, securing and uniting Nigerians as one family.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI invite all Nigerians to join me in taking back our country. Be assured that I\u2019ll never let you down,\u201d he wrote on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>But, responding to a question during the programme on whether his desperation led him to dump the PDP for LP, Obi said, \u201cNot all, I am not desperate to be President. But what I am desperate about is to see Nigeria work. Especially for the youth of this country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs I said, I have moved on to where I think the process might allow me. It is not about losing or winning. I will rather lose doing the right thing than win doing the wrong thing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy politics have been consistent in character and integrity since I started and you can go and check.
