Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party , on Monday, delivered an address at the Chatham House in the United Kingdom.Below is the full text of his address, titled ‘Policy and Institutional Reforms at the Heart of the 2023 Elections in Nigeria’.In agreement to the primacy of gratitude among human virtues, please allow me to begin today with words of gratitude.

The fifth plank of our governance priorities is to “Build expansive infrastructure for efficient power supply, rail, road and air transportation, and pipeline network, through integrated public-private partnerships, and entrepreneurial public sector governance”. Our solution to the perennial power problem in Nigeria is a comprehensive one that covers transmission, distribution, generation and financing as detailed in our Manifesto. However, we will immediately complete the $2.
