Former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship aspirant in Ogun State, Otunba Segun Sowumni said Labour Party candidate in the 2023 presidential election Mr. Peter Obi is the only one who can rescue Nigeria from her present challenges.
Sowunmi who spoke in Abuja on Friday at a programme organised by some members of the Obidient Movement powered by the Cyrus Group and Free Nigeria Foundation as part of the May Day celebration, said the future of the country is in Obi’s hand.
He said that Obi is in politics to change the fortune of the country.
“You know I am of the PDP but the future of Nigeria is in Peter Obi. He is the only authentic candidate, all others are fake,” he said, and charged the Obidient Movement and the Labour Party to emulate the Labour Party in Brazil and work hard to lead the change that is needed in this country.
National Chairman, National Caretaker Committee of Labour Party, Senator Nenadi Usman, said that the party belongs to Nigerian workers.
Usman stated that the Labour Party takes issues concerning workers’ welfare seriously, including giving workers living wages, quality healthcare and housing programmes, and enforcement of labour laws.
According to her, workers cannot be the creators of wealth and live in penury, pointing out that everything about the labour struggle is for the welfare of the people.
Senator representing Abuja in the Senate Ireti Kingibe said Nigerian youths are not doing enough to take and own the country.
