Following the victory of the Labour Party in the United Kingdom, former Anambra Governor Peter Obi has expressed hopes of Britain working with Nigeria to build a brighter future.

Daily Sun reported that Britain’s Labour Party recorded a landslide victory in the just-concluded poll, ending the Conservative Party’s 14-year rule.

In his congratulatory message to Keir Starmer via his Twitter account, Obi said he hoped for the promotion of stronger ties between the UK and Nigeria.

Amid the issues of insecurity, education, healthcare, and poverty, Obi called for the UK’s support in building a brighter future for the Commonwealth.

“I sincerely congratulate @Keir_Starmer and the Labour Party UK on the landslide victory they recorded in Thursday’s election. May the victory translate to a better and new chapter for all UK residents as you remain committed to your electoral promises.

“I also hope that your government will promote stronger ties between the UK and Nigeria and help in deepening our own democracy, especially during the challenging times that our nation is going through.

“Nigeria is grappling with issues such as insecurity, education, healthcare, and poverty and could greatly benefit from the support of the UK. Let us work together to build a brighter future for the Commonwealth. I wish you a successful tenure”, the post reads. (Daily Sun)
