Peter Obi: 2023 elections not about tribe, religion
The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, has stated that the 2023 general elections will go beyond relationships, tribe, or religion as political parties work diligently to develop campaign programmes and manifestos that will begin next month.

On Tuesday, Obi summarised his remarks from the Nigeria Bar Association Annual General Conference (NBA-AGC) at the Eko Hotels and Suites in Victoria Island, Lagos state, on his verified Twitter feed.

Atiku Abubakar, a former vice president and presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and Senator Kashim Shettima, a former governor of Borno state and vice-presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), both spoke at the colloquium on Monday.

Speaking about his delivered speech, Obi reiterated that the country needs “true, visionary and diligent leadership to transit from its present state of failure and stagnation to growth and development” and insisted that “we must strive for a leadership imbued with competence, capacity, credibility and commitment.”

The former Anambra state governor tweeted: “It was a distinct honour and privilege to address the Nigerian Bar Association at their Annual General Conference yesterday. The warm reception was gratifying and deeply appreciated.

“To recap what I said, Nigeria needs true, visionary and diligent leadership to transit from its present state of failure and stagnation to growth and development.

“Now that our nation is exhibiting the characteristics of a fragile and failed state, we must re-evaluate our leadership selection process to ensure that only diligent and committed leaders are voted into power, so that we can begin to rescue this nation urgently.

“We must strive for a leadership imbued with competence, capacity, credibility and commitment.

“I maintain that the elections in 2023 will go beyond connections, tribe or religion, but center on competence, character and commitment to deliver on the dividends of true democracy.”
