Labour Party (LP)’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, on Saturday, flagged-off his campaign with a promise to end the lingering security challenges bedeviling the country.
Speaking during the event in Lafia, the Nasarawa State capital, he said the incessant clashes between herders/farmers, the raging attacks by bandits and Boko Haram insurgents would be tackled head-on.
He noted that a Labour Party government would paved the way for farmers to return to the farms without fear of attacks, thereby addressing food scarcity and consequent skyrocketing prices.
He also promised to end the crisis in tertiary institutions occasioned by lingering strike actions by lecturers and non academic staffers through the right funding and infrastructural development.
He said, “If you vote for the Labour Party (LP) in 2023, we will address the persistent farmers/herders clashes in Nasarawa State and the farmers will go back to their farms. We will tackle the general insecurity bedeviling the entire nation.
“We will remove youths out of poverty. We will reduce criminality. We will solve the flood problem ravaging the country. The prices of goods will come down and there would be no challenges of food in the country.
“When the LP wins, there will no more be strike in the Nigerian Universities. The government will comprise of youths and women. We will provide fertilizer to farmers across the nation.”
