On May 13, 2024, a statement was released by Dr. Yunusa Tanko, the spokesperson for Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s Presidential candidate in the 2023 elections.
The statement highlighted Obi’s unwavering dedication to fostering a Nigeria that benefits all its citizens and rapidly alleviates poverty.
Concerned about the nation’s state and the escalating plight of the impoverished and marginalized, Obi convened with notable figures on Monday. Among them were Former Vice President and 2023 PDP Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar, Former Senate President Senator Bukola Saraki, and Former Governor of Jigawa State, Alhaji Sule Lamido. Central to these discussions was the urgent need to address the nation’s challenges and alleviate the suffering of Nigerians across all social strata and regions.
The primary focus of these discussions was the nation’s state and strategies to alleviate the suffering of all Nigerians, regardless of their social class or geographical location. The dire situation of the most vulnerable in society was particularly underscored.
A significant point of concern and focus during these discussions was the troubling circumstances in the Northern regions of the country.
