The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi, has stormed Delta State for his campaign ahead of the forthcoming 2023 presidential elections, lamenting that the Niger Delta region was backward to compare the resources accrued to it.
Obi who lamented the situation in Niger Delta promised to turn around the fortunes of the region if elected as the president come 2023.
He said, “We have gone to Warri, Isoko, Agbor and Asaba only today, that is to show you our seriousness and commitment, and in all the places, people came out en masse to support us. “Niger Delta supposed to be a haven, things are not working in the region. From here to Warri is supposed to be dualised. East-Eest road has been constructed for the past 24 years, but nothing is working in this region.
“Somebody said it is his turn to be president, I want to tell you that President is not turned by turn. If it is turn by turn, it is supposed to be my turn but we are not shifting turns. It is the turn of Nigerians to be president especially those full of energy. “No tribe buys bread or rice cheaper, no religion buys bread cheaper. Vote for commitment and capacity.
