If elected in 2023, Peter Obi, Nigeria’s Labour Party‘s (LP) presidential candidate, and Yusuf Baba-Ahmed, his vice presidential candidate, promised to put an end to strikes by doctors and ASUU members.
Speaking to a crowd of supporters at a large event in Owerri, the capital of Imo State, Obi promised that with Baba-Ahmed as his running mate, they would work to restore power to the people, particularly to youth and women.
Additionally, he stated that the top on their agenda will be to prioritise exports, invest in agriculture, and create jobs.
Issues like the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) strike, deterioration in the health sector, and corruption will be a thing of the past for the LP presidential contender.
One of the front-runners for the general election in 2023 is Peter Obi. This is Obi’s first significant campaign event in Imo, and as the election year of 2023 approaches, the party in the state announced additional initiatives to lure voters.
This is coming after the Presidential candidate finally released his campaign manifesto.
The 72-page manifesto titled, ‘It’s POssible: Our Pact with Nigerians’, was released after a long wait, speculations and disagreements among members of the LP, opposition parties and other vested interests.
Announcing the release of the manifesto on his verified Twitter page Sunday morning, Obi wrote, “I have the honour to present our 72-page Manifesto, titled, ‘It’s Pssible: Our Pact with Nigerians.’ This Manifesto, its overarching and visionary policy planks, lays out our mission focus and mandate for securing, uniting and making Nigeria productive.
