365Daily – As the 2023 elections draw closer, the flagbearer of Labour Party, Peter Obi, has taken his campaign to the Northern part of the country.
Obi, who was in Kaduna, visited the Chairman of Northern Elders Forum, Prof Ango Abdullahi and Zaria, the hometown of his running mate, Dr. Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed.
Speaking on his visit, Obi said: “I came to get blessings and fatherly advice as well as discuss some political issues with the elder statesman.
“This is in view of his position especially in the north and his persistent agitation for good democratic leadership in the country.
“Because right now the country is not productive, Nigerians are in hunger, they are jobless and are looking for a new life. Despite the vast and abundant farmlands in the north, Nigerians are still hungry as we continue to depend on oil, thereby abandoning one of the most important natural resources.
“We must come together and make Nigeria a new nation, a productive nation that can work well for all of us,” he said.
He said his consultations was in acknowledgement that the North is a vastly populated area that has a strong political hold that can influence the political direction of the country.
Obi reiterated his call on Nigerians to think wisely before choosing their leaders.
