A former governor of Anambra State and Presidential aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi yesterday warned Nigerians to put the future of their children into consideration before electing another president in 2023.
Obi, who gave the warning in Abeokuta while meeting with PDP leaders and elders in Ogun State, at the party secretariat, charged Nigerians to do a thorough background check of the candidates so as not to put the country on another journey of pains and agony.
Obi had on March 23rd formerly declared his interest to run for the 2023 Presidential race, when he met some traditional rulers in Anambra State.
The former Anambra governor, while addressing the gathering, said the agony of North East and North West of Nigeria is the more reason he is contesting for president.
The presidential hopeful who regretted the high spate of insecurity in the country under the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led administration, argued that the narratives of banditry and terrorism in the country is a cumulation of leadership failure.
He said, ”Do not look at money or what people are saying, let’s change the country. I have seen the pains of people in the North East and North West. All these you hear is our elites and political leaders’ conspiracy. Nigerians are one and they love each other.
