VIDEO: Finally, Peter Obi Declares For 2023 Presidency | SEE HIS PROMISES
Former governor of Anambra state, Peter Obi, has finally heeded to clamors especially from South Easterners to run for the 2023 Presidential race.
Peter Obi on Thursday declared interest for the number one position in Nigeria when he met with traditional rulers on Anambra.
Expressing his interest to run under the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Obi said;
“I am talking to the traditional rulers because if somebody begins any journey, he must first tell his fathers. I am telling you as my fathers that I am coming out to contest the position of the president of Nigeria.
“You know me and you know how Nigeria is today. In 2019, I went with former Nigeria vice president Abubakar Atiku as the vice presidential candidate, but today, I want to come out on my own.
“I just came to seek your blessings as the traditional rulers of the state. I am here to tell you as my own fathers, that I am aspiring for the president of Nigeria”.
The aspirant promised to boost security, provide jobs and pull Nigeria out of poverty if elected.
“If I am voted as the President, I will secure Nigerians, create jobs for the teeming youths of the country and pull Nigeria out of poverty.”
“Everything I have done regarding resources, I have managed them proudly. I want to move this country forward. I am a Nigerian; I believe in one united Nigeria; I want it secured.”
“I am not just aspiring for political position but to serve and move the country forward. I have all it takes to be president and move the country forward.”
Speaking on behalf of the traditional rulers, Igwe Peter Anugwu of Mbaukwu said they support his aspiration and pledged to assist him in realizing his ambition.
