Ahead of Nigeria’s next Presidential elections slated for February next year, Mr. Peter Obi who is the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), has asserted that Nigeria will regain its pride position in Africa if he is elected the country’s leader in 2023.
Obi made this assertion in his tweet to commend his Tanzanian supporter who had gone through pains to place the party’s flag on mount Kilimanjaro.
The Tanzanian LP supporter, identified as OGersh, climbed Africa’s tallest mountain, Kilimanjaro, for 10 and a half hours to mount the party’s flag at Uhuru Peak.
Obi went on to commend him for his efforts and said, ‘thank you for taking our OBIdient message to the peak of mount Kilimanjaro.
‘It must have been a tough journey going up there for a noble sacrifice.’

He further added; ‘I assure you and every Nigerian that under my watch, Nigeria will regain its position as the pride of Africa,’ Obi said.
While appreciating the sacrifices of his supporters, Obi said that he was overwhelmed and expressed confidence in their support to restore Nigeria’s glory.
‘I am always overwhelmed by the show of love and support from the OBIdients in Nigeria and Diaspora.
‘Your many acts of sacrifices reassure me of your patriotism and flaming desire to take back your country for good,’ Obi said.
Meanwhile, the Peter Obi Presidential Campaign Organisation has called on Nigerians to reject candidates who are planning to rule the country by proxy, asserting that Nigerians can no longer tolerate situations where governance is turned into family and friends’ business.
