Mr Peter Obi, the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate in the 2023 general election, has told Nigerians to vote for him based on the competence he has not on ethnic or entitlement sentiments.
Speaking during the Presidential Town Hall series organized by Arise TV on Sunday, the former Anamabra State Governor said that Nigerians should vote for him because he has the capacity to take the country out of its current predicament.
He explained that it is nobody’s turn, saying that rather, it is the turn of the youth and the women.
He told Nigerians not to vote for Peter Obi “because he is from the South East, he is a Christian, an Igbo man, or it is his turn.”
He emphasized, “I want you to vote for Peter Obi because I am qualified. Because I am competent. I know what I can do to put this country out of the brink.”
Obi stressed the need to strengthen and revive the local vigilante system in the country and have them work together with the police, believing that it would go a long way in solving the security challenges of the country.
The presidential candidate also blasted the incumbent government for lack of proactiveness and failure to adhere to intelligence in forestalling the Abuja-Kaduna train attack and other security challenges Nigerians are faced with
