Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) Peter Obi has said it is the turn of Nigerian youths and women to take back Nigeria.
He made the assertion during a recent visit to Akwa-Ibom (his wifes home country) for his campaign.
Peter Obi, while revealing his plans for Nigeria if elected president of Nigeria next month, said Nigerians should hold him accountable if he fails to change the country.
He said, Stop listening to all these parties telling you about structure. They brought Nigeria to where it is today. When we started this democracy, we had less than 50 million poor people in Nigeria; today, it is 133 million people and growing every day. Nigeria can feed itself; lets bring people who can focus on helping Nigeria”.
“Let nobody tell you it is his turn, or tell you that you have to wait for next time. It is the turn of Nigerian youths and women to take back this country. Your children are suffering. We have children who have gone to school and cannot find jobs for years and someone (Tinubu) is saying it is his turn; which turn? It is your turn to retire.
Let those people who want to be president come here as I came here and speak to you, not through their spokesperson. You dont campaign anywhere in the world through a spokesperson, you go personally. Hold me responsible if I dont change this country, he further stated.
