The presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Peter Obi, has revealed why he attended the launch of the Allied Peoples Movement, APM, presidential campaign office in Abuja.
Obi disclosed this in a post on his verified X handle on Tuesday.
He said his presence at the event was informed by the need to promote a new Nigeria anchored on unity, love, justice, mutual respect and inclusion, particularly at a time when political contests could become unnecessarily contentious and divisive.
According to the former Anambra State governor, Nigerian politicians must ensure that their shared love for the country remains greater than their political differences.
He urged fellow presidential candidates to build their campaigns around ideas and solutions capable of addressing the challenges facing Nigeria, including insecurity, poverty, hunger, inequality and the growing number of out-of-school children.
“Let us compete on ideas that will unite our people, improve their lives, and restore hope to our nation, while maintaining respect, decency, and love for one another.
“I congratulate my dear brothers, Governor Seyi Makinde and Governor Bala Mohammed, as well as all the leaders and members of the APM, on this important milestone,” Obi wrote.
