Peter Obi Calls For Divine Guidance In 2027 Elections

Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, asserts that it’s up to God to decide who will contest the 2027 elections.

Obi made this statement while urging wealthy Nigerians to increase their support for the less privileged, particularly in the provision of water and education.

Speaking at a press conference in Abuja on Wednesday, Obi emphasized that approximately 70% of Nigeria’s wealth is controlled by just 1% of its population. He highlighted that if even a fraction of this wealthy group, around 200,000 individuals, could allocate resources towards the basic needs of the impoverished, the situation would improve significantly.

He also urged governments at all levels to prioritize deploying resources towards enhancing the living standards of the impoverished and lifting them out of poverty.

The Labour Party’s presidential candidate explained that his focus on water and education stems from his firsthand observations during a humanitarian tour of various regions in the country. This experience exposed him to the widespread poverty and neglect experienced by the people.

Obi, who announced the completion of the construction of ten boreholes in some states of the North for a short-term water supply for the poor, said, if 200,000 rich Nigerians join him to do the same in the area of their choice, it would go a long way to solve the water needs of the poor.

Similarly in the area of education, Obi said that the potential he found out mingling with almajiris in the Quranic schools in the North moved him to tears how brilliant the children are but needed adequate support to develop them well to grow to be catalysts of development.

“I am carrying out a campaign to make the rich in our midst do more in providing water to our rural poor and helping to pull the out-of-school children off the streets for proper development.

“I am carrying out a campaign to make the rich in our midst do more in providing water to our rural poor and helping to pull the out-of-school children off the streets for proper development.

“This is the time to cut waste, our larger population can’t be suffering conspicuous lack of basic needs like water and we live lavish lifestyles in their midst, our crisis of insecurity and other challenges derives from poverty and it’s our responsibility to pull people out of poverty through good education.”

On what he would do differently as president following his criticism of coastal roads, the LP flag bearer said, that under his watch as President, there would be no road until all the existing roadworks in the country are put in order.

“I cannot embark on a new road when we can’t connect our states and cities in all the geopolitical zones because of bad roads. I will first fix the roads and move the economy.”

In 2027, Obi said his concern now is how to see Nigeria work not the election, “Only God can tell who can run for election in future, my interest now is the poor and how to see Nigeria work.”
