38,000 medical doctors and other health workers have pledged to mobilize 25 million votes for the presidential candidate of Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi.
While declaring their support for Peter Obi, the doctors promised to carry out nationwide medical outreach programme at the grassroots level under the auspices of Docs and Medics for Peter Obi.
In his address while presenting working tools by three support groups to the Labour Party’s campaign council at the party’s headquarters in Abuja, the convener of Docs and Medics for Peter Obi, Dr Uche Uzoukwu, talked about how the group plans to mobilize the 25 million votes in 2023.
He said: “Nurses, doctors and pharmacists are coming together under the name docs and medics for Peter Obi. Politics is a game of numbers and everyone is important. Therefore, 11,000 doctors, 27,000 medics have come together and have formed even state groups.
“We are reaching out to the local governments and have moved down to the wards and leaders have been inaugurated. We are moving down to the polling units and have 500,000 to grow and encourage them to get in touch with 50 people as they attend to patients. With this, we can have 25 million votes.
“We want to deliver 25 million votes, by giving right to life and to be well, the votes can be gathered. Medical outreaches have been in place and is still being used. Community members at the outreaches are encouraged to vote Peter Obi with a promise that the exercise will continue once Labour Party wins.”
He expressed his dissatisfaction with the poor state of the nation’s health system and said he believed Obi has the capacity to address brain drain. He stressed that the doctors and the medics would not leave after the 2023 elections to advance the sector.
He made it known that while PVC registration was on, the group paid for logistics for Nigerians without voter cards to be registered by officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and noted that such was done in 26 states and 52 different locations where thousands of Nigerians were registered.
