Former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, has come out to encourage Nigerians, particularly the youth, to get seriously involved in the electoral process, as well as, tightly grip their belief in a new Nigeria.
The 2023 Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) made the call when he attended the public presentation of a book after meeting with former President, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, in Abuja.
At the event, Obi emphasized on the “urgent” need for “comprehensive electoral reforms” which will always be the “bedrock of any functional democracy to drive inclusive growth”, as well as, “pull our people out of poverty”.
Obi posted on X: “After I met with Former President Goodluck Jonathan in Abuja on Thursday, I attended the 3rd Annual National Summit of one of Obidient support groups (CPO), as well as the public presentation of the book…
“The gathering was not only a celebration of ideas but also a reaffirmation of our collective journey toward building a Nigeria that works for all.
“In my remarks, I highlighted the urgent need for comprehensive electoral reforms, which remain the bedrock of any functional democracy to drive inclusive growth, create jobs, unlock the immense potential of our young population and improve the critical areas of development, health, education and pull our people out of poverty.
“I also encouraged Nigerians, especially the youth, to deepen their participation in the electoral process and to hold on firmly to their belief in a new Nigeria.
“The journey to a better nation is never easy, but with faith, resilience, focus, and unity of purpose, we can birth a country that reflects the values of justice, equity, greatness and shared prosperity.
“A New Nigeria is POssible.”
