Peter Obi who thanked all Nigerians, especially the youths who have joined him on a mission to take back and unite Nigeria, said he has consulted widely with various political parties and personalities to make sure they do not complicate the route to the desired destination.

What Peter Obi is saying

The statement from Peter Obi reads, ‘’I thank all Nigerians, especially our youths who have joined me in the mission of taking back and uniting Nigeria. This project is yours and for the future of your children, I am just a facilitator.

‘’Since I resigned from the PDP because of issues that are at variance with my persona and principles, I have consulted widely with various political parties and personalities to ensure we do not complicate the route to our desired destination.

‘’For me, the process of achieving our goal is as fundamental as what one will do thereafter. Therefore, I have chosen a route I consider to be in line with our aspirations and my mantra is taking our country from consumption to production and that is the Labour Party, which is synonymous with the people, workers, development, production, securing and uniting Nigerians as one family.

‘’I invite all Nigerians to join me in taking back our country. Be assured I’ll never let u down.’’
