Peter Obi calls for unity, new Nigeria

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party Peter Obi has called for unity and a new Nigeria.

He was speaking on Friday at the second edition of the handshake across Nigeria themed Building Bridges for a Wew Nigeria, organised by Nzukọ Umunna, an Igbo socio-cultural group.

“We need a new Nigeria. A Nigeria where people who are sons of nobody would be great, live well, have a job, and earn a living. That is all we want and I am sure Nzuko Umunna on their own will play their part. We would continue to play our part,” he said during the event in Enugu.

However, he noted that the new Nigeria won’t come with ease as those he claimed are holding the country won’t let go easily.

For the keynote speaker, Mike Ozeokhome (SAN), there must be an investment in skills, advancement of technology, the establishment of pilot projects, and involvement of international agencies amongst others if the handshake must happen.

Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State was also at the event.
