for Nigeria to get it right with Peter Obi.
“It is important to state that Peter Obi Presidential Ambition is beyond ordinary politics.

He urged the media to join in sensitizing
Nigerians to get their PVCs and vote Labour Party at the poll on 25th February, 2023 exactly 30 days from now and 11th March, 2023 so that we can all enjoy natural resources and blessings embedded in our great Country by the Almighty God.
On his part, Professor James Ekpoke, a former Vice Chancellor of the University of Calabar described Peter Obi as a genius and saviour.
