Peter Obi, the Labour Party‘s presidential candidate, has pledged that if he is elected in 2023, he will make sure that at least 100 million Nigerians have access to free medical care.
The free medical care will be a byproduct of the anticipated Integrated Health Insurance Scheme to cater to underprivileged Nigerians, according to Obi, who made this pledge during the 2022 Success Conference held in Abakaliki, the capital of the Ebonyi State.
He declared, “My leadership will seriously focus on the health system by making sure that at least 100 million underprivileged Nigerians have access to free medical treatments through an integrated health insurance policy.”
Obi emphasised that because he is willing to lead an inclusive administration, senior Nigerians will also benefit from his purposeful leadership in addition to young people.

He declared, “Youths would be the main advocates of my main goal to turn Nigeria from a consuming nation to a producing nation if I were elected the next president of Nigeria. Human capital development and finance are this agenda’s two primary pillars.
“Our leadership’s overarching goal for 2023 is to streamline governance and make sure it is adaptable, revolutionary, and efficient.
“We will demonstrate that good governance is all about providing the needed services to the people.”
“Under my Leadership, the Federal Government will prioritise the ability of our educational system to produce the necessary skilled labour force that coincides with the 21st-century labour market demand, alongside providing entrepreneurial education at all levels.”
In response to the question of how to maintain the economy using the resources of the small nation, Obi stated that he intended to establish a professionally managed SME Equity Fund within the first year of taking office in order to encourage the growth of at least one value-added industry that will make use of the local raw material supply, whether it be mineral or agricultural.
The high cost of living, insecurity, and other issues that Nigerians face do not discriminate on the basis of ethnicity, tribe, or religion, he continued, therefore the election in 2023 should be decided on competence, capacity, and a willingness to acting morally rather than these factors.
