Obi-Datti Presidential Campaign flight touched down in the North Western state of Zamfara on Thursday with the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Mr Peter Obi and and his running mate, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmad promising to unlock the abundant resources of Zamfsra State for good of the people.
The team which arrived at the rally ground in Gusau, the state capital, to the warm reception of jubilant supporters told the people that if voted into office by February 25, the God-given natural resources of the state would be turned around for their good.
“Your natural resources should bring you good things not crime,” Obi told his supporters.
The presidential standard bearer told the people that the insecurity that had bedeviled the state for years now would be a thing of the past, as he and Datti had the key to unlock the state’s potential and pull the it out of poverty.
He said Zamfara state with its huge mineral resources had no business being one of the poorest states in the country.
The former Anambra state Governor assured the people that security was top in their agenda because it was only in a secure environment that the huge potential of the state could be properly and adequately harnessed.
He said their Labour Party manifesto stressed the importance of taking the country away from consumption to production and through that engaged youths who were in their productive ages and reduced crimes and criminalities in the country.
Obi also talked of proper education for the people as he and Datti saw education as investment and were therefore ready and willing to invest heavily in education and health.
The LP standard bearer reminded the people what the forthcoming election meant for the country, a huge opportunity to take back from those holding it down with their failed leadership and transform it into a country that could compete in the comity of nations.
He urged the people to ignore those who would approach them with the sentiments of religion and tribe because unlike in the past this election was to be based on characters who could be trusted.
He said the election should be based on competence, capacity, capabilities and antecedents.
“Enough of their lies and deceits,” Obi stressed.
The team also addressed other critical stakeholders in the state.
