North Will Support Obi-Datti To Rescue Nigeria – ODPM


A support group, the Obidatti People’s Movement (ODPM) has expressed optimism that Northern Nigeria will be all out to give support to Labour Party’s Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi, and his running mate, Datti Baba-Ahmed during the 2023 general elections billed for next month, as well as all the LP candidates vying for various offices

The group expressed this at a press briefing held on Monday, January 16, 2023, in Kaduna, ahead of Obi’s campaign flag off billed for Wednesday 18th in the political capital of Northern Nigeria, with the theme, “Our Future is Bright with OBI-DATTI VICTORY”

“We sincerely believe that the North will support Obi-Datti campaign to rescue this nation come May 29,” the group said.

According to the text of the briefing jointly signed by Honourable Charles Obiora Anueyiagu (National Coordinator, Obi-Datti People’s Movement Nigeria), Bon Nebo Esq Diaspora Coordinator ObiDatti People’s Movement and Kenneth Chukwu
(Director General ObiDatti People’s Movement), the group assured Nigerians that with an Obi-Datti presidency, all the woes of Nigeria will become a thing of the past within the shortest possible time.

“Our unalloyed support for the joint ticket of Obi-Datti is hinged on the following facts;

(1) Character, Capability, and Competence.

2) Verifiable track records and accountability.

The first time all Nigerians spoke with one voice irrespective of tribes regions and religions.

3) Transformative agenda. A paradigm shift from consumption to production.

4) Equal opportunities to all Nigerians regardless of ethnicity or religion.

5) An end to corruption and for the empowerment of Nigerian youth.

For the first time, Nigerians and the rest of the world have a presidential and vice presidential candidate both being loved equally for their ability and competency of good leadership.

(3)Transformation Agenda.
They have records of prudent management and leading by example. And will, therefore, be able to transform our civil service, the armed forces, the police force, and all other paramilitary, and governance institutions for good.

(4) Education and Youth Development:
This is also the first time the skills, wisdom, and suppressed knowledge of Nigerian Youth come alive in a high-scale dimension. This is a rebirth of hope for our youth who are the future of our nation, Nigeria.

(5) Corruption:
Corruption will die a natural death. Only the incorruptible can fight corruption successfully. And only the contented pass through the Nigerian system without being corrupted. We have a duo with impeccable and incorruptible characters.

Therefore, our victory in the forthcoming election is the right signal for the rebirth of integrity and a change of the psyche of our people towards non-corruption characteristics.

(6 ) Nigerians will choose their leaders by themselves not by imposition. This is the greatest opportunity God has given to the populace to decide our future. And we must take advantage of it.

(7) Trust Restored: Their victory will restore hope to Nigerians that democracy works. This victory is our collective victory which guarantees the future for which God blessed our nation abundantly.

(8) Develop Nigeria among world economic power.
They will enhance and increase the economic potential global (net export) and utilize the blessings of God to Nigeria and Nigerians for the good of all.
