The presidential candidate of Labour Party, Peter Obi, has challenged Nigerians to vote competent and committed leaders in the 2023 elections.
Obi made the call during an interview with CNN and stressed that the politics of “my turn” to rule has caused Nigeria more in its quest to develop.
He also stressed that politicians who promote ethnicity and religion have played a major role in setting Nigeria backwards.
He noted that the country is immersed in a big mess, and on the verge of collapsing.
He said: “That is what it was yesterday. And that is our problem because we have been able to elect people based on ethnicity, religion, ‘my turn’, connection, or one form of bias or the other, which brought us to where we are — or structure, which I always say is the structure of criminality.
“That is what we want to dismantle now and ensure that the next election is based on character, capacity, competence, and commitment to do the right thing.
“Nigeria is not just in a physical mess; it is at the last stage to collapse. The people in the north don’t have a secure place; they don’t have good roads; they don’t buy bread cheaper than people in the south. So [it is with] people in the south.
“All you hear about ethnicity, religion, connection, ‘my turn’ is an elite conspiracy to keep Nigeria underdeveloped. But now, we have reached the edge. We can no longer continue this way.”
