He claimed that previous political parties that led Nigeria pushed her into insecurity, poverty industrial actions, hunger, and suffering.

Obi said:

“The 2023 election is not about, ethnicity, tribalism or religion. “Nigerians from different tribes, ethnic groups and religions buy food from the same market, face the same insecurity, unemployment and suffering.

“I’m not contesting this election because I’m an Igbo man, but because I’m a Nigerian and the most qualified to be the president with the votes of Nigerians who wants a new Nigeria.
