According to Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s (LP) nominee for president in 2023, Nigeria is disintegrating quickly as poverty rates continue to rise.
When speaking on Wednesday at the Jolly Nyame Stadium in Jalingo, the capital of Taraba State, during his campaign for president there, Obi said only Nigerians could wrest control of their party back from the ruling class, which had continued to ensure that, despite the country’s enormous potential, its citizens continued to live in poverty.

He stated: “Nigeria is collapsing and it is doing so very fast. We have 133 million people in poverty and Taraba is no exception. It is happening here where we have millions of people who don’t know where the next meal will come from. That is what I and Baba-Ahmed wants to reverse.”
Additionally, Datti Baba-Ahmed, Obi’s running buddy, stated, “Nigeria is waging a war; that war is not between tribes, it is not between faiths – it is between the good people of Nigeria and bad governance and that war we must win.”
