The Labour Party’s, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has revealed that the Niger Delta needs rehabilitation. He has therefore promised to revive the Niger-Delta.
Peter Obi during his recent campaign visit to Niger Delta, lamented about the poor state of the roads which were constructed twenty-four years ago and how things are not working in the region.
While speaking at the town hall meeting held in Warri, he promised to birth a new Nigeria, if elected president in 2023 general elections.
He stated that if he is elected, he would make Nigeria work again and also asked Nigerians to hold him responsible if he fail in the area of security and economy.
He said,
“We have gone to Warri, Isoko, Agbor and Asaba only today, that is to show you our seriousness and commitment, and in all the places, people came out en masse to support us.
“Niger Delta supposed to be a haven, things are not working in the region. From here to Warri is supposed to be dualised. East-Eest road has been constructed for the past 24 years, but nothing is working in this region.
Somebody said it is his turn to be president, I want to tell you that President is not turned by turn. If it is turn by turn, it is supposed to be my turn but we are not shifting turns. It is the turn of Nigerians to be president especially those full of energy.
“No tribe buys bread or rice cheaper, no religion buys bread cheaper. Vote for commitment and capacity.
“We are not going to give excuses. I am not going to remind you of where you’re coming from or blame people where they failed. I’m assuring you that a new Nigeria is possible.
“Hold me responsible if we failed you in the area of security and economy. We will make the country work again. There will be no more strikes in the education sector again in this country.”
