“My administration will move this country from consumption to production
“Our youths will be properly taken care of and will no longer be travelling out for greener pastures”
In addition, Obi urged Nigerians and residents of Ekiti State to support him in the upcoming presidential election on February 25, 2023, promising to eradicate hunger and poverty in the country if elected.
The flagbearer for the Labour Party added that the most qualified candidates for president are himself and his running mate, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed.
In order to elect the most qualified candidates in the election of 2023, Obi further urged youths in the State and the wider public to abstain from vote buying and selling.
“Let nobody tell you it is his turn, it is nobody’s turn, it is the turn of Nigerian youths to take back their country and we must not allow anyone to buy our votes in the coming election.” Obi said.
