Obi

The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, on Sunday visited Kaduna State as part of his ongoing nationwide consultations, where he met with stakeholders of the African Democratic Congress and urged leaders to embrace competence-driven politics.

Obi disclosed details of the visit via his verified Facebook page, noting that his interaction with key political actors in the state reinforced his belief in the possibility of rebuilding Nigeria through purposeful leadership.

According to him, the visit provided an opportunity to engage party chieftains and assess the political mood in the state, which he described as strategic to national development.

“Today, as part of my nationwide consultations, I visited Kaduna State, where I met with our party stakeholders and members, including Dr (Alhaji )Ahmed Tijjani, a gubernatorial hopeful, and Senator Lawal Adamu, who represents Kaduna Central,” Obi stated.

He added that beyond political aspirations, he observed a genuine commitment among the stakeholders to serve the people and contribute meaningfully to national progress.

“What I observed in them was not just political ambition but a sincere desire to serve the people and contribute to the rebuilding of our country,” he said.

The former Anambra State governor described Kaduna as a historic symbol of unity and coexistence in Nigeria, recalling its past as a major hub for industry, agriculture, and commerce.

He, however, lamented that the state had lost some of its past glory, stressing that with the right leadership approach, it could regain its position as a driver of economic growth and national cohesion.

“Kaduna remains a very strategic state in Nigeria. It was once a symbol of our unity and coexistence, a major hub for industry, agriculture, and commerce, and it still holds that potential.
