The All Progressives Congress (APC), which is now in power, has failed the people, according to Mr. Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the opposition Labour Party (LP), and another opportunity to retake the country would be provided to Nigerians in the general election of 2023.
Obi remarked that there was nothing substantial to celebrate in his independence letter, which was signed by the National Publicity Secretary of the LP, Arabambi Abayomi, and in which he gave the administration led by President Muhammadu Buhari a performance rating of zero.
Obi said in the statement that Nigerians now have a clear opportunity to remove the country from the failed politicians in the APC and reinvest their votes in the Obi/Datti candidacy, a reliable, capable, sincerely committed, and focused presidency from 2023 onwards for guaranteed governance based on fine principles of democracy.
“The only alternative for Nigeria to be rapidly and effectively repositioned and changed into a producing country away from its current status as a consuming nation is vote a presidential candidacy with the best antecedence.

“On this occasion of marking the freedom and Independence of Nigeria, Nigerians have nothing to celebrate, so the nation must support the Obi/Datti candidacy in LP in the presidential election and win for it in the election with your votes, thus hopefully in the following years with Obi/Datti presidency, the country will have lots to celebrate.
“In all considerations, the country has absolutely nothing to celebrate on, rather a larger part of the overstressed population is gnashing their teeth as they struggle to exist among various loads of avoidable sufferings,” the statement explained.
