The Co-Convener of Peter Obi Support Network, Mazi Tochukwu Ezeoke, said at the moment, Nigeria is in intensive care unit, waiting for the person with capacity, competence and character to rescue her.
He said: “A vote for Peter Obi is a vote for prosperity, a vote for security, a vote for employment, a vote for good governance, a vote good roads, a vote for quality educational system, a vote for quality health facilities, a vote against nepotism and a vote to destroy the structures of corruption in the country.
“We urge Nigerians to come out en masse to vote for Peter Obi this weekend. It is the pathway to nation’s promised land.
“Don’t vote for someone that will supervised the ‘burial of the nation,’ which is already in an ‘intensive care unit’ under President Muhammadu Buhari.
“Today we are alarmed to hear the leadership of the ruling party attacking President Mohammadu Buhari for the recently promulgated federal government policies.
“We are also alarmed to find the official spokesman of Bola Tinubu, the APC presidential candidate, openly threatening a coup deta’t.”
The group said that PDP today is also riddled with crisis, adding that all these developments make them wonder whether these two parties that have brought the country to its knees will allow a free and fair election and whether they will accept the result of the presidential election when they suffered election defeat this weekend.
“Faced with certain electoral defeat, the APC and the PDP have resorted to propaganda, political bribery and spreading fake news and unfounded information against the labour party to help their demoralized supporters.
“It is now obvious that Labour Party is the party to beat and so their masters have seen the truth and are tactically submitting.
“Atiku in his broadcast is now saying that people should go out and vote peacefully even if they don’t want to vote for him. That is better,” the group said.
The group said that the Agbado master and his old naira notes delusional governors are now crying for the election to be postponed because defeat is staring them in the face.
“These failed politicians have failed to read the signs of times, that a new generation of Nigerians hewed in the blood of innocent Nigerians over the years have risen to take back their country and they will not stop until the day a new Nigeria is born; the 2023 elections are just the beginning.
“The desperate wicked looters of our commonwealth are no longer saying that the Labour Party has no structure because the Peter Obi Support Network [POSN] and other support groups have created a miraculous network of Peter Obi supporters in a every nook and cranny of Nigeria,” the group said.
In his remarks, the Oyo State Coordinator of the group, Sir Olatunde Okelana, said that the largest percentage of Nigerian youth who constitute 40% of the registered voters are rooting for Peter Obi for the New Nigeria of their dream.
He said the 176, 874 polling units across the country, would be closely monitored by assigned ‘Obidients .
