“We are in another election circle to decide the fortune of our country for the next 8 years. We’ve all complained about the failure of the Nigerian government to deliver good governance to its people, we need to go beyond complaining to taking action in the direction of our hopes.”
The investor added, “So I am calling on all Nigerians home and abroad to donate to the Peter obi campaign because it has become obvious that 2023 election will be very pivotal to the unity, and hope of this country we all call home.
“After this circle our next opportunity will be in 2031. Imagine your life in 2031 with a repeat of the present system. I am sure you don’t like how that looks. I believe that the next election is between NIGERIANS represented by PETER OBI and the other 2 major parties.” the statement reads.
