Senator Victor Umeh of the Labour Party (LP), a leading candidate for the Anambra Central senatorial seat in the 10th Senate, has expressed confidence that Peter Obi, the LP's presidential candidate, will win the election and succeed President Muhammadu Buhari on May 29, 2023, as the next leader of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Umeh, an ardent Obi supporter who was at the forefront of the effort to elect the former governor of Anambra State, insisted that nothing could prevent the LP presidential standard-bearer from becoming the nation's first citizen the following year.
“Peter Obi will be the next President of Nigeria. Nobody can stop him! Nigerians from all parts of the country and in the diaspora are desperate to have him as their next President,” the Anambra Central LP senatorial candidate asserted.
Calling on the people of Anambra State to rise up and play key role in the battle to make Obi president in 2023, Senator Umeh, added: “As Ndị Anambra, we are supposed to be in the lead but it seems people from other states are already ahead of us in the struggle of the OBIdient Movement, we have to wake up and get fully involved.
“Let us make sure that every atom of support and all our votes count in solidarity with Mr Peter Obi and the Labour Party in the coming General Election because it is our opportunity to make a bold statement in the history of Nigeria and as well, correct certain misconceptions about our people.”
