A coalition of different youths in Enugu state, made up of diverse political party affiliations have resolved to work, campaign, and vote for the Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi, to actualize his presidential bid in the 2023 elections.
The youths under the aegis of Enugu Youths Ambassadors of Peace and Development -EYAPD, in a communiqué after its leadership and conference meeting in Enugu said that Obi, with mathematical accuracy, falls within the bracket and possess all the qualities they need in the man that will salvage Nigeria, change the narrative and guide us all the values of modern democracy and its dividends.
“This is owing to the obvious fact that Peter Obi has always tried to introduce hygiene into Nigerian politics and his records remained unparalleled,” the group stated in a statement signed by its coordinator, Anthony Okenwa, and Secretary Chidiebere Udeorji.
In resolving to embrace Peter Obi for the 2023 presidency, the alliance said the adoption covers only the person of Mr. Peter Obi as an aspirant and not the Labour Party.
“It means that we will be working for Peter Obi alone and not for other aspirants under the umbrella of the Labour Party. In taking this decision, we have promised to invest our quality time, energy, and other resources in ensuring that his aspiration, which is now our common project, turns true.”
They noted that their resolution to embrace Obi was not spurred by ethnic or religious reasons but rather, based on credibility and competence. “In other words, we did not settle for Peter Obi because he is an Igbo man or a Christian but because we believe, judging from his leadership antecedents, that he possesses the competence and credibility to save Nigeria from the present mess.”
