The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has advised weak and feeble candidates contesting for the presidential seat in the 2023 elections to retire.
The ex-Anambra Governor said that the task to rescue and restore Nigeria needs physical energy and a presidential candidate who is vibrant enough to go around and understand the problems of Nigerians.
Obi who made these remarks while addressing members of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) ahead of his Tuesday rally in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, said he could not imagine being represented by anyone on a political rally that concerns his mission to render service.
The presidential hopeful said he is committed to working towards the realization of the Ibaka Deep seaport in Akwa Ibom State if elected President come 2023.
The commitment, according to Obi would not be a favour done to Akwa Ibom, but part of his strategic move to open more economic gateways for Nigeria.
Fielding questions on the conviction of the Director-General of his campaign team, Doyin Okupe, over alleged money laundering, Obi said the witch-hunting of persons in his campaign team cannot break his resolve to be Nigeria’s president.
According to him, “I am hearing about it(the conviction) just like you. I am still studying what is coming out of the courts and everything. I believe in the rule of law. It is not going to demoralize me.
