The Labour Party's presidential candidate, Peter Obi, on Saturday in Lafia, took a swipe at his major opponents for the country’s number one job, Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Obi in his Presidential campaign in the Nasarawa State capital tacitly told Nigerians that Presidency of Nigeria is not a retirement home for the aged, sick, tired and weak people

He said that, “Aso Rock is a seat of power for energetic and vibrant people to live and tackle the huge problems facing the country.”

Addressing a crowd of supporters and party officials at the campaign ground, the LP candidate said that Nigeria’s Presidency like in every good country is “for leaders who are ready and patriotic enough to do the job and me and my Vice Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmad will serve Nigeria and bring her back to greatness.”

The former Anambra state governor and frontline contender for the presidency in the 2023 polls assured that his administration will focus on turning the country from consumption to production, adding that “We will put money here and farmers will return to their farms and youths will be gainfully engaged.

“Don’t support those who will steal your money and make governance a retirement home. We will solve Nigeria’s problems, it’s not going to be overnight but we will tackle insecurity and return farmers to their farms.”
