Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 general election, Peter Obi, has expressed concern about the recent regression in the nation.

Obi shared on Wednesday that he struggles to sleep at night, knowing that many Nigerian families are unsure where their next meal will come from.

He called on Nigerians to come together regardless of tribe, religion, or political party to save the country from poor leadership and governance.

Obi, a former governor of Anambra State, emphasized that now is not the time to point fingers or blame others, but rather a time for everyone to take collective responsibility for the nation’s well-being.

He wrote, “This generation of Nigerians has a sacred duty to make Nigeria a nation Nigerians can be proud of.

“Considering how our nation sadly retrogressed and became in the last few months, putting us in a far more deplorable situation, economically and otherwise, than we already were, I must say that we all need to rise and join in rescuing our nation from further collapse.

“It is difficult to sleep at night, knowing that millions of Nigerian households do not know where their next meal will come from, or knowing that some Nigerians may be under terror attack due to the high level insecurity in the country.

“I urge us all to unite, above tribe, religion, and political party affiliation, to rescue our nation free from the shackles of leadership failure and bad governance. This generation of Nigerians has a sacred duty to make Nigeria a nation Nigerians can be proud of.

“This is no time to apportion blame or to hunt for culprits. It is the hour of collective responsibility for national salvation.”
