Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 elections, has urged for reconciliation and unity to forge a new Nigeria. In a recent statement posted on his X (formerly Twitter) account, Obi emphasized the need for a coordinated effort across all levels of government—federal, state, and local.
Obi, represented by Dr. Tanko Yunusa, the Interim National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement, outlined his vision for a unified movement that harnesses its diverse strengths to build a Nigeria that works for everyone. He acknowledged the internal divisions and personal agendas that have previously caused friction and called for a strategic framework to manage these differences constructively.
He expressed gratitude to supporters who contributed to the Obidient Movement’s success and acknowledged the grievances within the ranks. Obi emphasized the importance of respect, tolerance, and understanding, guided by the principles of Character, Competence, Capacity, Consistency, and Compassion.
Obi’s call to action focuses on healing, reconciliation, and renewal, urging members to channel their collective energy towards creating an inclusive and united movement for a better Nigeria.
