The Vice Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party for the 2019 election, Peter Obi, has charged Nigerians “to work together towards enthroning a new Nigeria that will in turn take care of all the needs of Nigerians, ranging from security through job creation to constant power supply.”
Obi spoke on Thursday during an interactive session among PDP faithful at Ekwunife Centre, Awka, Anambra State
The former Anambra State Governor, who encouraged Nigerians to vote for the presidential candidate of the PDP for the 2019 election, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, said from his rich pedigree of wealth creation, status as employer of labour and political and administrative experience, he has the capacity of enthroning the new Nigeria that Nigerians yearn for.
In her own speech, the convener of the event, Senator Uche Ekwunife, who described Obi as “our project”, said all Nigerians interested in the progress of the country must join hands to deliver Abubakar and Obi in 2019.
Corroborating Ekwunife, one-time Minister of Health, Prof. ABC Nwosu, said: “Peter Obi’s candidacy has gone beyond Igboland.”
Nwosu advised that Obi, being a recognised international figure, should be the project of all Nigerians.
