The Labour Party presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi on Monday took his campaign to Katsina, the home state of President Muhammadu Buhari where he vowed to build a new Nigeria if he gets the nod of Nigerians next month.
The former Governor of Anambra State made this promise while speaking at his campaign rally held at the Muhammadu Dikko Stadium on Monday, restating his commitment to restoring peace, fighting poverty, and opening all land borders in the country for the economic well-being of citizens.
He appealed to women and youths in the country to ensure that they vote for Labour Party flagbearers in the forthcoming general elections.
‘Nigerians have been deceived for the past 24 years. I want to urge you to vote for the Labour Party in the forthcoming elections. We have come with the promise of ending the bloodshed, and poverty, and restoring peace in all parts of this country,’ he added.
Earlier on arrival at the Muhammadu Dikko Stadium, Obi and his running mate Datti Baba-Ahmed alongside other party supporters attended a town hall meeting with women supporters and students mostly drawn from various universities in the state.
