2023 election: I prefer to die than fail my supporters – Peter Obi

The Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, on Monday in Lagos State, has vowed not to fail those who have been supporting him.

Obi said that he would rather die than fail his supporters, who are commonly known as Obidients.

The former Anambra Governor spoke at the Editors Forum, an initiative of the Nigerian Guild of Editors (NGE).

He said the challenges to include unemployment, poverty, criminality and insecurity.

Obi said, “We cannot have that number of people living in poverty and not have criminality, banditry and so on.

“We must remove the sharing formula and replace it with the production formula.

“The hope of this country is the vast uncultivated land, not that oil we are seeing.

“My commitment is to put Nigeria into production.”

On his supporters, Obi promised not to disappoint them.

“I am determined not to fail them. I would rather die than fail them. I am going to serve them,” Obi said.
