The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, made a stop in the city to outline his plans for the Nigerian economy, if elected in the upcoming February 25th elections.

Speaking to a crowd of supporters at the Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS) in Onikan, Obi shared his vision for a prosperous and stable Nigeria.

The former governor of Anambra State promised to increase the nation’s reserves through agriculture and stability of the currency.

“No Nigerian will be ethnocentric but a Nigerian. We want Nigerians to celebrate their passport,” he said.

If elected, Obi’s administration would work towards securing people from poverty, moving Nigeria from consumption to production.

“Lagos will remain the centre of excellence and finance,” he said. “Nigeria has all the endowment to be a great country.”

In addition, the LP candidate derided the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for its management of the economy, saying millions of Nigerians had fallen below the poverty line since the party first commenced governance in 2015.

He accused the current government of producing poverty, joblessness, university lecturers’ strikes, and “one form of suffering or the other.”

Obi emphasized the importance of an enabling environment for business and pledged to develop the country’s gas resources to bring in more revenue than oil.

He also promised to support the youth for enterprise, saying, “Our achievement will be measurable.”

In addition to his plans for the economy, Obi promised to apologize to all victims of police brutality, if elected.

“We will apologize to all those who are victims of police brutality,” he told the crowd.

“All those who have suffered in the hands of government, we will apologize to them. We will make sure that it never happens again. Nigeria will be a peaceful country.”
