The Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi has said the party have structures and ready to move mountains to save Nigeria come 2023.
Obi made the comment after Labour Party Summit held today at International Conference Center, Abuja, where the party stakeholders and Youths converged to discuss strategies to win in the 2023 general elections.
Taken to his verified twitter page, Obi, a former Anambra State governor said the country has been polarized and the democracy must be saved.
“From where I stand, I dare to proclaim that Nigeria’s Democracy Must Survive”, Peter Obi said.
“The new alliance that we seek is between Nigerian Youths, the Labour Party, which represent Nigerian workers, and Like Minds. Collectively, it is an alliance of the OBIdients!
Obi called on Nigerians to look for ways to move the country beyond oil and end oil subsidy, he added that the country is suffering from a deep rooted corruption.
“Going forward, we must look for ways to move Nigeria beyond oil. We must end this criminality called ‘oil subsidy’. Nigeria today is vastly polarised and wrecked by divisions that run deep along religious, ethnic and regional lines.
“There is a staggering level of corruption. Our universities have remained closed for over five months. While our healthcare system remains comatose, power generation and distribution are also at an all-time low.”

Obi said if elected in 2023, his administration will use the instruments of job creation and regenerative investments to drastically reduce the high rate of insecurity and poverty in the country.
“After we win the 2023 elections, we intend to use the instruments of job creation and regenerative investments to drastically reduce the high incidence of insecurity and poverty, while moving the economy from the consumptive to the productive mode.”
“Undoubtedly, the greatest challenge we face beyond bad leadership, is lack of elite consensus. But, let us not forget Dante Alighieri‘s admonition, that “The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in times of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality.”
“History must serve as a tool in our decision making. The implosion of Nigeria has long been forecasted. Year 2023 could be a tipping point in the annals of our history. But that must not happen, even as the options before the electorate seem stark.
“Finally, Our structure is everyone seated in this hall today! Yes, we have structure, and we are ready to move mountains to save Nigeria.
