Obi Pledges Respect For Rule Of Law, If Elected President

Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) Peter Obi has promised to respect the rule of law if elected as the next president of Nigeria

Obi made the pledge yesterday during a meeting with his supporters at a town hall in Owerri, the Imo State capital.

While canvassing for the support of Imo electorates, he urged them to vote for the party of “human beings” in apparent reference to the logo of the LP.

Obi reaffirmed his commitment to a new Nigeria that would work and accommodate everyone, irrespective of tribe, religion or other inclinations.

He said, “My government will work closely with state governments to build uncommon synergy, with the aim of an all-inclusive governance for the overall good of all the citizens.

“Nigeria is blessed, we have all it takes to be a great country.

“All we need is the right leadership that will harness our potential as a country, such as the oil and gas in Imo, for our collective benefit. I will ensure respect for rule of law, secure and unite Nigeria and move the country from consumption to production.

“Vote for Labour Party, vote for human beings: Papa, Mama, Pikin,” he said.
