Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s (LP) nominee for president, has urged his supporters and all Nigerians to exercise temperance, patriotism, and composure in the face of adversity. He asserted that as a patriotic Nigerian who has faithfully served his nation, he is still dedicated to helping the populace and building a stronger Nigeria.
The former governor of Anambra State claimed in a series of tweets on Wednesday that recent occurrences in the nation, especially political developments in Adamawa state, highlight the significance of upholding the rule of law.
Every Nigerian was urged to maintain their hope and faith in their country by the LP presidential candidate. Nigeria, he said, is a very blessed and maybe wonderful country. “Nigeria’s greatness will soon manifest fully, ensuring that she is well-respected globally,” he asserted. “With the Almighty God on our side.”
Obi stated that he is still dedicated to serving the Nigerian people and building a greater Nigeria where everyone will share in the benefits of the country’s vast natural and human resources, which are a gift from God.

“We were provoked during the elections, but we showed restraint, patriotism and wisdom because we were voting for a greater Nigeria and not for the destruction of Nigeria. They deployed agents who killed and maimed many, including innocent women, but we kept our cool.
“Yet, we must do our utmost to be calm even under provocation; we must also not allow those bent on using any pretext to plunge our country into chaos and leave our youths without a future to succeed.”
“We are on this journey together, and better and happier years await all of us. God bless the good people of Nigeria and the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“So we must stay the course. H.E. President Muhammadu Buhari asked Nigerian youths to have faith in Nigeria and prepare for leadership roles when he signed the ‘Not Too Young to Run Act’ into law.
“I agree with him that we have enough vibrant and intelligent Nigerian youths ready to propel Nigeria to greatness, and it is my desire and commitment to empower Nigerian youths to leadership.
“It bears reiterating as I did yesterday at the National Executive Council Meeting of the Labour Party held in Asaba, that the millions of Nigerians who voted for Datti and I did not just cast their votes, but they invested their hope in us for a new Nigeria.
“In view of this, l ask all well-meaning Nigerians to commit their heart to prayers for a better and greater Nigeria,” the LP flagbearer stated.
