“Together we birthed a movement of Nigerians committed to taking back their country. In 2023, with your continued support, victory is ours.

“With the presidential election just about 55 days from today, Datti Baba-Ahmed and reiterate our determination to serve Nigeria with love, strength and faith, and diligently implement Our Pact With Nigeria (Manifesto) from May 2023 to create a New Nigeria, a renewed nation bound in freedom, prosperity, peace and unity.

“While Datti Baba-Ahmed and I are committed to lead, we need your support. We implore you to secure your PVC, come out with your family and friends on the 25th February and vote for your future! Vote Labour Party! Vote Peter Obi/Datti Baba-Ahmed!

“Vote for the character, competence and commitment that you can trust to secure and unite Nigeria, end poverty and hunger through agricultural revolution, particularly in our northern region and other productive revolutions in different regions of our dear country, empower our children and youths through proper education and health and many others plans and targets that we have.”

‘SUPPORT ME TO SAVE NIGERIA’

Obi also called on all Nigerians to support him in saving the country, saying he will not leave any of his promises unfulfilled.

“I call on all Nigerians to unite our efforts in the journey of taking back our nation from the cold hands of corruption, insecurity and unproductivity. 2023 is a very critical year that will determine the next direction of our nation,” he said.

“This nation cannot continue in its all round retrogressive movement in the coming years, as that will result in its total collapse. 2023 is an existential year in the history of our nation. It is a year we all must unite against the continued abuse of our nation’s democracy and economy.

“The power is in our hands to take back our nation, this year, and make it work. I call on Nigerians to support me in saving our nation. My commitment is securing the country, unifying the nation and moving it from consumption to production.”

Obi added that Nigerians can hold him “accountable by my words of promise”.
