The former governor of Anambra state, Peter Obi officially declared his intention to take part in the Nigerian Presidency on the PDP platform of the People’s Democratic Party. On the same day he had the support of 177 autonomous communities in the state of Anambra as their candidate.
During Thursday’s declaration, Obi noted that he was not seeking a political appointment but to fix Nigeria and unite the country as one. “I didn’t enter the contest because I wanted political appointments but to serve this country and unite Nigeria and I am the only person who can unite Nigeria.
“The state of our country is deplorable and the level of insecurity is unfortunate and Nigeria has fallen to the lowest ebb in the state committee in the world and I am the only one who can restore security in Nigeria.
“As President; I want security of life and property in Borno state, in Minna, Niger state, as I want in Onitsha and in Kano or Ekiti states. “My interest in the Nigerian presidency is to restore security and improve our education sector and also revive the health sector and I have seriously studied our country and I have come to find all we need is to ensure security so that local foreign aid investment will thrive in all parts of the country. ”
“I came to serve Nigeria and I believe in restoring our country and uniting the country because if there is no unity in Nigeria we cannot move forward. You all know me very well and I need no more introductions and you all know what I do as governor of Anambra and Anambra states like Nigeria and anyone capable of managing Anambra state can manage Nigeria and I ask for your support and I have faith on all of you that you will support me” Previous senator Uche Ekwunife of the Anambra Central District noted that those who raised questions about which Igbos were eligible to go on to become president were unaware of Mr Peter Obi’s personality.
When you go North they say they are waiting for Igbos and that person is Peter Obi , you go to West they say they are waiting for Ndigbo and they wait for Peter Obi and you go South and they say they are waiting for Peter Obi.
This is a good product and a good product doesn’t take much stress to sell and that is Peter Obi and we in Igbo land have no choice but to support our brother because he is the next president of Nigeria; he says.
Chairman of the Council of Traditional Rulers of Anambra and Obi Onitsha represented by Igwe Emma Nnabuife of the Okija community stated that all kings have spoken that Peter Obi is our man for the presidency.
We don’t need anyone other than him and Igbos has endorsed Peter Obi as our candidate and it’s Ndigbo’s turn; he took notes. The high point of the occasion is the traditional prayer for his support
