Release of Peter Obi’s 62-page campaign platform
On Saturday, Yusuf Datti-Ahmed and Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential nominee, unveiled their platform for the 2023 general election.
At the Labour Party Secretariat in Abuja, the former governor of Anambra State released the 62-page document titled “Our Pact with Nigerians: Creating a New Nigeria.”
He outlined his goals for the nation in the document, including how, if elected president the following year, he would improve security, the economy, and corruption.
The LP candidate made a point of outlining how he intended to lead the transition from consumption to production by managing an economy centered on production that was propelled by an agrarian revolution and industrialization that was focused on exports.
In the document, the LP candidate made a number of commitments, including the promise to provide competent and honest leadership in order to deliver in seven key priority areas, including security, the economy, infrastructure development, and the fight against corruption.
In order to strengthen the rule of law, aggressively combat corruption, lower the cost of governance, and create an honest and effective civil service, he also pledged to restructure the political system through effective legal and institutional reforms.
As your president, I, Peter Gregory Onwubuasi Obi, my vice president, Yusuf Datti Baba- Ahmed, and our group affirm our commitment to the following:
• Keep Nigeria safe and united, and manage our diversity so that no one is left behind.
• Convert Nigeria from a consumer to a producer.
• Launch comprehensive legal and institutional reforms as well as workable restructuring initiatives to combat corruption, uphold the rule of law, and resolutely combat all types of corruption.
• Give human capital development top priority and make significant investments in STEM education, health care, and infrastructure development with a focus on sustainable development and wealth creation.
• Plan Nigeria’s transition away from reliance on fossil fuels and toward the use of environmentally and climate-friendly energy.
• Strive for comprehensive poverty eradication with a focus on the agricultural revolution through efficient use of our sizable arable lands, particularly in Northern Nigeria, and get rid of the label “Poverty Capital of the World” for Nigeria.
