Presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr. Peter Obi has said that the goal of his partnership with Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, the Vice-Presidential candidate of the party is “to rescue Nigeria from the calamitous and ineffective leadership that has brought our country to its present condition.”
Mr. Obi, former Governor of Anambra State said this, according to a post on his X platform, when Senator Kwankwaso, a former Governor of Kano State and one-time Defence Minister, who he referred to as his “dear elder brother,” visited the headquarters of the Obedient Movement in Abuja.Ā
He said that their “commitment is to commence lifting vulnerable Nigerians out of poverty, reduce the number of out-of-school children, support small and medium-sized businesses, secure our nation, unite our people, and move Nigeria from consumption to production.”
Obi, who noted that Kwankwaso, was accompanied on the visit by the gubernatorial, senatorial, and other candidates of the party from various states across the country, stressed that their “discussions focused primarily on strategies to expand and deepen the reach of our party and take our message of national redemption to rural communities and the hinterlands.”
He said that he also reassured the party’s candidates of his continued support for them in their respective states and constituencies and reaffirmed his commitment to working with them and undertaking the necessary groundwork to secure victory for the NDC.
He concluded the post by saying “A New Nigeria is POssible, and Nigeria will be OK. -PO.”
