Emilokan: It is not your turn – Peter Obi tells Tinubu

Labour Party’s (LP) Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi, has said the 2023 presidential election must not be based on entitlements, religious, ethnic and other sentiments but purely on capacity that would change the fate of the country.

He spoke at the party’s ongoing leadership in Abuja. “Election next year must not be based on religion or ethnicity. It must not be based on connection. It must not be based on turn. It is nobody’s turn. Election next year must be based on competence, capacity and commitment to start turning around Nigeria.”

A statement by the President and Secretary of the Guild, Mr. Mustapha Isa and Iyobosa Uwagiearen disclosed that Abubakar will be interrogated on a wide range of issues.

He also unveiled the LP’s portal and free membership cards for those who want to join or support the party, stating that people must not borrow to contest elections in the country. The portal is meant to give access to Nigerians to register, support or donate to the party from all parts of the world.

On the issue of oil theft in Nigeria he said: “Oil is not sweet that you can just put in your pocket. For you to steal oil, a ship must sail into your territory, the Navy must approve the ship. So, who is approving that? Who is stealing the oil?”
