Presidential candidate of the Labour Party in 2023, Peter Obi, has voiced his distress over the plight of millions of Nigerian families facing food insecurity, a situation that keeps him awake at night.
He called on Nigerians to transcend religious, ethnic, and political divides, emphasizing the need to rescue the nation from the grip of ineffective leadership and poor governance. Obi, former governor of Anambra state, shared his concerns via his Twitter account on Wednesday, March 6th.
Obi stressed that now is not the time for assigning blame or seeking culprits, but rather a time for collective responsibility toward national salvation.
He Said, ““This generation of Nigerians has a sacred duty to make Nigeria a nation Nigerians can be proud of.
Considering how our nation sadly retrogressed, and became in the last few months, putting us in a far more deplorable situation, economically and otherwise, than we already were, I must say that we all need to rise and join in rescuing our nation from further collapse.
It is difficult to sleep at night, knowing that millions of Nigerian households do not know where their next meal will come from, or knowing that some Nigerians may be under terror attack due to the high level insecurity in the country.
I urge us all to unite, above tr!be, religion, and political party affiliation, to rescue our nation free from the shackles of leadership failure and bad governance.
This generation of Nigerians has a sacred duty to make Nigeria a nation Nigerians can be proud of. This is no time to apportion blame or to hunt for culprits. It is the hour of collective responsibility for national salvation”.”
