Suspend Campaigns To Honour Flood Victims – Peter Obi Tells Tinubu, Atiku, Others

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has appealed to his counterparts in other parties to suspend their campaigns to honour victims of flood across the country.

Obi made the appeal during a visit to Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State at his Abuja private residence to commiserate with him over the flood disaster in his domain.

He called on Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, and Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, amongst others to join him to help victims of floods in the country.

Obi said he expected other presidential candidates to show concern for the plight of victims of flooding, considering how millions were spent on nomination forms alone.

The former Anambra governor vowed to fix Nigeria’s challenges if he wins the 2023 presidential poll and becomes the country’s President.

On his part, Ortom encouraged Nigerians to go into the 2023 general elections with the mindset of electing the best presidential candidate among the top hopefuls.

According to Ortom, Nigeria currently runs on oxygen and would need a hands-on and detribalised leader to restore hope, development and progress.
