Peter Obi, presidential candidate for the Labour Party has felicitated with Nigerians on the occasion of the country’s Independence anniversary.

Obi said, “Even as we remain thankful, prayerful and hopeful for a brighter future; we are mindful that many Nigerians are resigned, frustrated and tired of the many years of leadership failure. Many of our compatriots remain in captivity held by bandits; millions are living in IDP camps as their homes are now part of ungoverned spaces. Many Nigerian children go to bed hungry.”

Obi concluded by saying “We, therefore, cannot ignore the present deafening clarion call for change.”
