2023 Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, said, he engaged in “meaningful conversations” with Governor of Bauchi State, Mohammed Bala, on “governance and the economic hardships currently facing Nigerians, especially in the North”.
According to Obi: “Building a New Nigeria: Engaging for Progress and Unity
“Yesterday, as part of my commitment to the New Nigeria project, I visited Governor Bala Mohammed in Bauchi State to discuss the state of our nation and explore ways to move our people forward. We had meaningful conversations about governance and the economic hardships currently facing Nigerians, especially in the North.
“We reflected on the need for competent and inclusive leadership that transcends political, religious, and ethnic lines, prioritizes prudent resource management, and implements policies that will enhance the welfare of our citizens. At this critical time, we must continue to engage, consult, and invest in initiatives that lift our people out of poverty and criminality while fostering a more productive and equitable society.
“As always, my commitment remains steadfast in building a New Nigeria—one where good governance, transparency, and accountability drive national development. This includes investing in critical sectors such as education, healthcare, and poverty alleviation.
“I sincerely thank Governor Bala Mohammed for the warm reception, the insightful discussions, and his willingness to collaborate with us in working towards a better Nigeria.
A New Nigeria is becoming very POssible!”
