The Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi, has urged Nigerian youths to remain positive and hopeful for the coming of a New Nigeria, which, he said, will be anchored on youth development and productivity.

Obi made this call in his message to mark World Youth Day, WYD, on Saturday.

He explained that the current confusion in the polity as well as the economic turmoil in Nigeria should not discourage but rather motivate our youths to remain committed and resolute in the struggle for a new and better Nigeria.

He said, “Unless we remain committed to the struggle for a better nation, we will not be able to achieve the New Nigeria of our dreams.

“We must remain resilient and persevere against every hardship and obstacle on our journey to a new nation.”

The former Anambra state Governor noted that many of the nation’s challenges will be overcome if leaders paid attention to youth development and productivity.

He blamed the high level of insecurity and the alarming rate of social vices associated with youths like drug and other substance abuse as well as the high inflation rate in the country; on the high unemployment rate among the youthful population in their productive ages.

Obi equally said,”According to reports, Nigeria tops in the ranking of countries with the highest rate of unemployment in the world, with a 33.3 per cent unemployment rate. And further findings show that Nigeria’s unemployment rate would further rise to 40.6per cent, due to the continuous flow of job seekers into the job market.

“With this high rate of youth unemployment where more than half of the population in their productive age are not working, the nation will continue to stagger under the weight of many economic and social challenges.

“It’s only by providing job opportunities and massively ing the growth of small businesses in the country, that the challenge of high insecurity, rising inflation, etc will be taken care of.”

The LP presidential candidate reiterated his firm commitment to building a New Nigeria anchored on youths’ development, noting that their youthful energy, skills, and potentials were critical ingredients needed to move the nation from consumption to production.

He he onished Nigerian youths to remain steadfast and committed to the vision of a New Nigeria, which he insists, is Possible.

You be correct man

me for your academic assignment thesis,power point presentation, proposal, article, available for any field of writing using Turnitin provide quality works just WhatsApp me below

I was discussing with a friend who voted for APC during the just concluded election. He was telling me that Peter Obi is good but Tinubu has more experience that's why he voted for him (Tinubu)

This dude was still was still telling me to give Tinubu more time, that he believes that Tinubu would deliver.

The sad reality here is that even if the tribunal cancels the last election on the grounds of election malpractices across the federation and calls for fresh elections, Tinubu would still win.

All he has to do is to make a public broadcast and tell his brainless ers that he has acknowledged his wrongs and he's ready to correct them.

His hungry ers who can't even afford 2 meals a day would tribalize his statement and call him a man of honour, that it takes a man of honour and integrity to it that he's wrong. They would go on to ask how many Igbo leaders has ever come out openly to it that they failed.

And on the stated day of the election, they'll come out in their thousands to vote for him again. Then complain when the suffering becomes unbearable.

Bigots are the easiest people to deceive on this planet, that's why they're always poor, cos all you have to do is to blame the other tribe and they'll rally round you and give you their even though you're a known thief like Gandollar.

Praying for Nigeria is a waste of prayer which even God himself wouldn't answer. The solution is to raise money and leave.
