Peter Obi, Presidential Candidate of Labour Party, has urged Nigerians to vote for candidates based on competence, character and not sentiments in the 2023 general election.

Obi said this at a two-day Leadership Retreat with the theme “Nigeria at a Crossroad; Labour Party the Only Option in Abuja.

According to him, the job of a leader is to solve problems and not to give excuses or blame other people.

He promised to solve the challenges facing the country, if elected as the president in 2023.

Obi promised to sign a performance agreement with the Nigeria Labour Congress to make sure that ideas generated at the retreat were followed to the latter.

“Enough is enough for the blame game, I won’t offer anybody any excuse.

“That is why election next year will not be based on ethnicity, it will not be based on religion, there is no place Christians buy things cheaper, there is no place Muslims buy things cheaper.

“It will not be by my turn, it is nobody’s turn. It must not be by connection.

“Election next year must be based on character and trust; it must be based on competence,” he said.

He said that the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) strike could be solved easily with little more efforts by the government.

Obi while unveiling the LP portal and free hip cards for Nigerians to the party, said they were building a party where people would not have to borrow money to contest election.

The LP Chairman, Mr Julius Abure, said the retreat was aimed at reviewing the party’s successes and challenges by deg the roap for the 2023 election.

Abure said that the nation was faced with so many challenges ranging from economic to security.

“Peter Obi’s emergence as presidential candidate has brought a lot of new registrants into our fold and transformed the 2023 context into a National Movement. The ObIdients.

“The logo of our party is Father Mother and Child in a wheel, we believe in equal opportunity and social justice.

“The party specifically champions the rights of women, children and all the oppressed in the society,” he said.

2023 is a crossroad for every Nigerian youth

A crossroad from consumption to production economy.

Vote wisely, we can't continue to suffer in the hands of the old corrupt politicians.

They'd come to fault him..just wait

“That is why election next year will not be based on ethnicity, it will not be based on religion, there is no place Christians buy things cheaper, there is no place Muslims buy things cheaper.

“It will not be by my turn, it is nobody’s turn. It must not be by connection.

“Election next year must be based on character and trust; it must be based on competence,” he said.

Peter Obi you are a chameleon who cannot be trusted.

You are the one running helter skelter to religious worship houses looking for signs and wonders, yet downplaying religion that you project so fiercely.

Your Labour Party ticket is by connection.

You don't even know the party manifesto.

You are a desperate political prostitute who is a placeholder for a Mauritanian Fulani who wants to execute genocide on gays and lesbians like Doyin Okupe's son and Prof. Uju Anya.

Where was your voice and presence during the EndSARS protest by Nigerian youths?

We Nigerian youths will not be decieved by a typical politician that changed party at the 11th hour to avoid failure.

See this stupid idiot. What legacy did he leave behind after governing Anambra for 8 years. You slowpoke after 8 years of mes Anambra is now residing in Lagos. See who is talking about competency. What is his competence? You go and put your region into order. No single elite in igboland wants to associate with this idiot and he calls himself competent.
To make matters worst, this nonentity can lie for Africa. Na lie full him brain and he thinks everyone is an idiot and a zombie like him and his delusional followers

STOP PLEADING WITH PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR COMPETENCE. VOTE FOR FOR WHOEVER, JUST STAY ALIVE. In fullness of time, evil consumes (even) it's own. If you vote out of nepotism/tribalism, (God spare us our lives) don't ever think the incompetence and hardship that comes with wrong leadership will skip you.

APC and PDP folks hate the words competency, vote wisely and shun tribalism. If you doubt me, find their replies under this post.

The opposite of those three things are what they are banking on.

However, I urge every well meaning Nigerian reading this post to vote as Obi has said.

Don't waste the next 8 years of your life.

Whenever you say 'vote wisely,' Tinubu's rented urchins always feel threatened. They think you are campaigning against them. What is bad in voting wisely?

As a Muslim from the South West, I rather vote Tinubu than Obi cause suffering can never tire me. I and my generation will forever show servitude to Agbado master

That's true

That's what I'm talking about.

Remove religion remove ethnicity

Tell me one reason why I should vote Tinubu or Atiku over Obi?

Just one, I'm waiting

Modified: As usual the only thing urchins keep saying it that the drug lord built Lagos. Ment or malaria? All these rubbish will be over when obi finally becomes president next year

He didn't call name o

Just vote wisely

Peter Obi, do you even know the manifesto of the Labour Party whose ticket you usurped?

Is that ticket given to you not by connection?

Did you merit it or worked for it when you only ed the party a few days earlier?

Hypocrisy is baffling.

Religion aside Tinubu is the best candidate of all.

Damnnn niggar
Obi my niggar

Correct.......

He won't win, and nothing will happen

Any sane human being will definitely vote for Peter Obi.

Infact, let's assess d sanity level of nairalanders.

Like for Obi-vice, share for tilumbu-device.

If Obi doesn't win next year's election I'll deactivate my .

This I have seen.

A vote for tinubu is a vote for Oduduwa sovereignty, division.

We choose competency over ethnicity.

Obi has no good record.

What did he do in Anambra state?

But here is he talking about competence

The pathological liar's only qualification is that he's IGBO. Remove that, and he has no record to run on.
He's the same fool running from one church to another yet he's the one telling people not to vote based on religion.
Na HYPOCRISY go kee this Pandora fool.

This man has no record to run on except for promises and promises of what he will do.
What and what did he do in Anambra for 8 YEARS? NOTHING....

Ho

Nigerians are the reason why Nigeria is not growing.

Religion & ethnicity are the two words drawing Nigeria backwards.

oyatz:


Your hypocrisy na follow come.

People that are always opening threads upon threads to castigate and denigrate a particular candidate for chosing a running mate that practice same religion with him are here saying Religion is drawing Nigerian backward on behalf of a candidate that is moving from One church to another.

The same people complain and abuse other trubes on daily basis

Exactly what I said before. You are part of the problem.
Religion & tribalism are the issues dragging us backwards. All these politicians know it and are using it to further deny Nigeria her rightful place.

N/B: Not every comment that doesn't your candidate is from a er of any candidate you might be referring to.

The worthless bastard oduduwaa-pigs with their corrupt frog eye dubious leader will not sleep tonight. A tribe with highest imbecilic nature will shed tears after the election

To an average man, whoever he will benefit from is competent. Don't blame them, that's nature. Putting themselves before others, unknown to them, they will still share the same pain like others.

Obi has no good record

And yet he'll be your president come 2023!

I understand you perfectly
