YOUR CHILDREN FUTURE PARAMOUN, VOTE WISELY... OBI
FROM : AYODELE AJOGE, BIRNIN-KEBBI.
Former Anambra State Governor and former Vice Presidential running mate to Atiku Abubakar now Presidential hopeful under the umbrella of the Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP), Mr. Peter Obi has urged Nigerian parents to think about the future of their children before deciding on who to vote for during the party's presidential primaries expected to hold this month.
Obi who was in Kebbi State last weekend as part of his consultation visit to PDP members and delegates in the State told them to take the picture of their children, look into their future and see whether it will do them any good for them to vote a candidate that cannot guarantee their future as president.
"If they give you money collect it, who knows it might be your stolen money. But when it comes to voting, think twice, vote only for the candidate with the capacity to fix Nigeria and secure the future of your children", he said.
He said successive governments in the country have not done much about education and agriculture to boost the nation's economy even when every state in the federation has the potential to be producers and not consumers.
"The nation has not done much in education. Presently there are 18.5m out-of-school children in Nigeria. 10m out of this figure are women and this is due to leadership failure over the years".
What we hear today on daily basis in Nigeria is bad news. No more good news. People cannot move around anymore, farmers cannot go to their farms
He said he was ready to fix the nation's economy if elected president under the platform of the PDP and would give priority to the economic potential of each of the states in the federation.
