The Presidential candidate and running mate of the opposition Labour Party LP, Peter Obi and Datti Baba Ahmed have reiterated that they should be held responsible if they fail to cut waste if elected into power.
Baba Ahmed made this declaration in a press release he personally signed Tuesday and circulated among newsmen.
“Hold us responsible, if we fail to cut waste in government or drastically fight corruption which has permeated every segment and sector of our national life. We make these promises because of what we are offering Nigerians – leadership with character, competence, knowledge and compassion.
“This is the stark difference between us and others and why we call on all Nigerians to troop out next Saturday and vote for Labour Party. A vote for Labour is a vote for a secure and progressive nation. It is a vote for unity, and an appreciation that our diversity is a major strength which we must promote to our advantage.
“I know that His Excellency Peter Obi will before the close of the campaign speak to the nation but today I call on all Nigerians of goodwill, Nigerians who care about the youths to come out en-mass and vote Labour. Even if you are angry with the country and the leadership because of the sufferings you are going through, take your anger to the polls and vote out those who over the years have impoverished you through bad governance.
“Our message is very simple and unambiguous. Against the threats and challenges facing us, we offer Nigerians a leadership with character we know, with proven records of competence we can trust, knowledge and compassion you can feel, a capacity that has been tested and proven. A leadership you can hold accountable.
” Let me reiterate, we shall stop the killing and start the healing. We shall stop the stealing and start the keeping. We shall stop the slide and start the climb of our economy. Vote for Labour Party (LP) for a New Nigeria!”
Obi’s running mate boasted that if the election is held correctly hold the promise of the long awaited secure, stable and prosperous Nigeria, calling on INEC to be an impartial umpire and not frustrate the will of the people.
The LP candidate implored the security agencies, the police, the military, the Department of State Security (DSS) and other uniformed officers to conduct themselves with utmost responsibility and resist the temptation to subvert the will of the people.
The opposition candidate established that their supporters have invested energy and emotions because they can see “our sincerity and commitment. This is what makes us different from the others- we have asked Nigerians to hold us responsible if we fail, as promised, to unite and prosper our dear Nation, Nigeria.”
“We have asked them to hold us responsible if we fail to move Nigeria from consumption to a productive economy. We have asked them to hold us accountable if we fail to build a twenty-first century economy propelled by technology and if we fail to transform the vast arable lands in Nigeria especially in northern Nigeria into the “New Oil”. We will bear the full responsibility if we fail to build the required human capital and skill for the twenty-first century economy” Baba Ahmed restated .
He declared that Nigerians, have the best opportunity to take the country back or usher in a new one, urging them to troop out, vote Labour Party (LP) and protect their right to a New Nigeria .
The Presidential and National Assembly NASS elections hold this Saturday, February 25, 2023.
