The Labour Party in the 2023 general election, Peter Obi, has emphasized the need to build a new and productive Nigeria that prioritizes the well-being of its citizens.
Obi disclosed this in a message on his X account to celebrate independence day.
In his word, Obi said Nigeria is underperforming, saying it is one of the most insecure nations globally and c among the most corrupt countries.
.
The statement read : “By every measure of development, from the critical areas to the smallest aspects, we are underperforming. We rank poorly in security and peacefulness, making us one of the most insecure nations globally.
“We are also ranked among the most corrupt countries, and we are noted for our disregard for the rule of law.
“Our nation continues its dangerous dance on the edge of a precipice.
“When we compare ourselves to countries that gained independence around the same time—before or after us—Nigeria stands out as a nation in decline, urgently in need of rescue from further decay.
“On this day, therefore, we must make a solemn commitment to build a nation that is truly independent from the state capture that has dragged it into failure and kept its people in suffering.
“We must create a nation free from tribal disunity and religious disharmony.
“We must build a New and Productive Nigeria that prioritizes the well-being of its citizens.
“That is the independence we should celebrate as a nation whose greatness remains POssible.”
