The Labour Party presidential
candidate, Peter Obi, has finally released the campaign manifesto for his 2023
presidential bid.
The 62-page manifesto document was titled ‘Our Pact With Nigerians: Creating A New Nigeria.’
According to the
document, Obi’s campaign is anchored on seven thematic areas of security,
production, institutional reforms, industrial revolution, infrastructural
development, human capital development as well as a robust foreign policy.
Specifically Obi and his
vice, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, pledged to; “Secure and unite our dear nation,
and manage our diversity such that no one is left behind in Nigeria.
“Move Nigeria from consumption to production and embark on comprehensive legal and institutional reforms and practicable restructuring measures, to fight corruption; ensure the enthronement of the rule of law, and decisively tackle all forms of corruption.
The LP candidates also
promised to “prioritize Human Capital Development through robust investments in
STEM education, health, and infrastructural development, with emphasis on
wealth creation, distribution and sustainable development.
“Improve access to
finance, particularly to MSMEs, youths and women, to significantly reduce
unemployment and insecurity.

“Ensure that in policy
and practice, governance will be made more inclusive, cost-effective,
transformative, and less transactional. No more sharing of the national wealth
by a few,” among other promises.
The spokesperson of the Obi-Datti presidential campaign council, Yunusa Tanko, confirmed the authenticity of the campaign document, however, noted that the manifesto document is yet to be formally unveiled by the presidential candidate.
“The principal has made
a summary release of the document in the Business School meeting he held in
Lagos, but the formal unveiling will be done by him at a later date,” Yunusa
said
Recall that an earlier
version of the manifesto in circulation on social media sometimes in October,
2022 was disowned by the former Anambra governor.
