The Labour Party Presidential Candidate, Mr Peter Obi continued his whistle-stop mop-up campaign on Tuesday returning to Anambra state capital, Awka, to the warm embrace of a tumultuous, jubilant crowd, urging the people to turn out massively on Saturday to vote for him and help in saving Nigeria.
Obi said that he was a candidate of the people as his ticket belonged to the people whom he and his running mate, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmad were desirous to serve to take back Nigeria from the grip of those holding it down over the years.
Obi, who went through the major streets of Awka accompanied by Obidient supporters led by the Labour Party Senatorial candidate of the zone, Senator Victor Umeh told the people that Saturday’s election was defining for the country.
At Eke Awka, jubilant supporters abandoned their wares and sang supporting songs following him around the market.
He appreciated the hardship the people were going through especially with the redesigning of the currency crisis but urged them not to be deterred but to come out in their numbers to vote for good governance which would end all that.
The two-term former governor of the state told his people that a vote for him on Saturday would offer the opportunity to repeat what he did in Anambra state at the federal level.
According to the LP standard bearer, his antecedents and those of his Vice, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmad, showed that they could be trusted having excelled in the private and public sectors as prudent servants of the people.
Obi said that corruption was at the point of castrating this country, and a vote for the Obi-Datti ticket would eliminate it and install good governance and accountability.
The Presidential Candidate also assured the people that security remained tops on their agenda because without security the consumption-to-production policy in his manifesto would not be adequately implemented and without production, the economy would not grow and unemployment would not be tackled.
By Obi’s Awka road match, he has covered the three senatorial zones and the major towns in the state, Onitsha, Nnewi, and Awka in his whistle-stop campaigns that had taken him to major cities across the country, including the federal capital territory, Abuja
