Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, has vowed to prevent the present practice of sending Nigerian youths and children overseas due to an increasing number of cases of joblessness there.
On Tuesday, August 23, 2022, in Lagos, Mr. Valentine Ozigbo, a former PDP candidate for governor, was officially welcomed into the Labour Party. Obi addressed at the event.
The goal of the Labour Party, according to Obi, is to seize the nation and return it to the people. He said that up until recently, Brazil and Nigeria were in comparable economic situations, but that Brazilians can now provide for their own needs and export agricultural goods.
In order to achieve the party’s objectives, he restated his demand for the country to switch from consumption to production.
In Obi’s words: “The wealth of a nation is not determined by the landmass but the level of production in the country. Nigeria is not a producing nation, let’s go out and produce. Prayer is not enough, we must go out to work.
“We don’t want Nigerians keeping their children in Canada. Canadians don’t send their children here. Today, Nigerian parents are exporting their children abroad and are living alone here in empty homes. We must reverse it. We must bring back our children. To change the nation we must make it stable and safe for all. People still think it will be business as usual, no. We must reverse it.”
He promised equal opportunity inside the Labour Party to Ozigbo and his followers.
The Labour Party’s Julius Abure stated the party is not available to everyone, only those with integrity and who have something to give. He made this statement while welcoming the new members.
“The Obi movement is driven by intelligent people with integrity and competence. Ozigbo has those criteria. He meets our criteria to belong to our party. “The inflationary rate today is 19.5 percent. There is a need to rescue this nation. Ozigbo has joined in the struggle to rescue the nation,” he said.
When Ozigbo and his followers joined the party, the party chairman promised them a fair playing field and equal possibilities.
The march toward Nigeria’s emancipation has begun, he said, “You have equal status with all members and entitled to all privileges,”
Speaking for himself and his followers, Ozigbo expressed his happiness at joining the party. He said that the action was just intended to formalize past efforts.
