The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi has promised that his government won’t give any excuse for non-performance if Nigerians vote him as their President in 2023.
This is as he said the government should not be a retirement home or the home of old people, stressing that he and his running mate are young, energetic persons who mean well for Nigeria.
He vowed that unlike some people in government, he won’t steal the money that belongs to Nigerians but will ensure things work as they should for the benefit of the country and its citizens.
The LP candidate said it’s better not to listen to those who are only sharing money.
Naija News reports he made the vow on Saturday in Lafia, the Nasarawa State capital during the flag-off of his party’s presidential campaign.
He said; “Nasarawa will be a great state again. You will drive from here to Abuja on a good road. These are things we will do. You will see governance; you will see people who are committed — not people coming to steal your money,” he said.
“We will put money here to make sure that we pull the youths of Nasarawa out of poverty. Support us.
“Don’t support these people who are stealing your money. We are not going to steal your money. We mean well; we are young. We are like you.”
Our Government Will Not Be A Retirement Home
Speaking further, Obi promised to include women and youths in his administration, noting that it won’t be just about the old people who have almost turned governance into their retirement homes.
He added that if elected, his administration will hit the ground running as they know the challenges of the people and are ready to tackle them.
In his words: “We are ready for the job. We are not going to give excuses; we are not going to start telling you what we saw when we entered. Two of us are young, educated. We can stand, and we are not worried. We will feed you.
“The government we are going to form will be a government of youths and women. It will no longer be a government of old people. Government is not a retirement home; it is not old people’s home. We will form a government that is energetic.
“We are ready for the job. We know your problems. We will provide fertiliser for farmers. We will support farming.
“We will remove Nigeria from consumption to production; by that, people will have jobs. Support us, go and start campaigning for us, for your future. Don’t listen to these people who are sharing money.”
