The Vice Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Datti Baba Ahmed has asked Nigerians to not be deterred by the hardship caused by the Naira Scarcity and to come out en masse to vote in the 2023 elections.
Datti, who stated this during a conference on Friday in Abuja said that Nigerians have suffered greatly in the past eight years.
“Next Saturday, Nigerians will be expected to make the most important decision in the history of the country, a decision that will determine and shape the future of Nigeria.
“The past eight years have witnessed the most lamentable failures in terms of promises made for change.
“Even if you are angry with the country and the leadership because of the sufferings you are going through, take your anger to the polls and vote out those who have impoverished you through bad governance, “he said.
He called on Nigerians to hold his Presidential Candidate Peter Obi and himself accountable if they fail to deliver on their promises.
“Hold us responsible, if we fail to cut waste in government or drastically fight corruption which has permeated every segment and sector of our national life.
“We make these promises because of what we are offering Nigerians, leadership with character, competence, knowledge, and compassion.
“Also possible, is a country propelled by good governance and production to significantly improve the general well-being of the vast majority of Nigerians and guarantee their security and prosperity,’’ he said.
He said that the `Obidients’ movement was driven by a diverse group of Nigerians who have decided to take the lead for the betterment of their future.
“This is the stark difference between us and others and why we call on all Nigerians to troop out next Saturday and vote for LP.
“A vote for LP is a vote for a secure and progressive nation; it is a vote for unity and an appreciation that our diversity is a major strength which we must promote to our advantage.
“According to him, their message is very simple and unambiguous.
“We shall stop the stealing and start the keeping. We shall stop the slide and start the climb of our economy. Vote for Labour Party for a New Nigeria,’ he said.
