What Peter Obi Told Them At The Arewa Joint Committee Interactive Session In Kaduna 

Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Dr Peter Obi has recounted his presentation at the Arewa Joint Committee Interactive Session organised by Sir Ahmadu Bello Foundation in Kaduna.

The event, which was meant to uphold the legacies of the Northern politician, further provided an avenue to grill the leading presidential candidates for the 2023 general election on what they will bring to the table if elected in 2023.

Peter Obi who is one of the leading presidential candidates is notable for disrupting the political space as a third force.

In a series of tweets on his verified Twitter handle on Monday, the former Governor of Anambra state disclosed what really transpired during the interactive session and his vision and mission for Nigeria if he becomes president in 2023.

According to him, It is an honour for him to return to the City of Kaduna and to participate in the Arewa Joint Committee Interactive Session, and rub minds on some fundamental issues germane to the future of Nigeria.

He wrote: “I thank the leadership and stakeholders of the Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation for their gracious invitation.

“I wish to preface my remarks by setting out our mission and vision. We are all Nigerians.  I am a Nigerian running for the Nigerian Presidency to serve every Nigerian. I continue to insist on a show of respect for every candidate, ethnicity, religion and person.

“The mission and vision of the incoming Obi-Datti Administration is to give full expression to our democracy by moving our country from consumption to production; we shall achieve this by giving primacy to implementing the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

“Our dear country today has become a shadow of itself. Indeed, there is evidence that Nigeria exhibits two known indices of a failed state; parlous economy and loss of territory and emergence of ungoverned spaces.

“The purpose of politics and governance is to generate economic and social progress for the citizens in larger freedom. But the status quo is the reverse.  This is more so here in the North, where poverty, unemployment and insecurity are the new normal,” he said.
