Amid worsening economic hardship and hunger, Mr Peter Obi of
the Labour Party, LP, has maintained that no religion, tribe, or political
party buys food cheaper in any market in Nigeria.
Obi said Nigerians should join hands in moving the nation
from consumption to production for the good of society.
The former Anambra State governor gave the assertion in a
post on his X handle on Monday.
According to the former presidential candidate of LP,
Nigeria’s many challenges as a nation could be conquered by unity of efforts,
collaboration, and mutual respect.
He said: “In continuation of my Easter Sunday activities
yesterday evening, after sharing the Easter joys with the inmates of Onitsha
Correctional Centre, yesterday, I was at the Central Mosque, Onitsha to pray
with the Muslim Community in the City who are in the last ten days of the
Ramadan fasting. It was heartwarming to see how they were able to judiciously
deploy the little resources I gave them last year for the renovation of their
mosque.
“I took time to remind them, and indeed every Nigerian, of
the need to rise above religion and tribe, but in unity and brotherly love,
continue to work hard for the development of our dear nation.
“Our many challenges in our nation can be conquered by a
unity of efforts, collaboration, and mutual respect. As I have always
maintained, no religion, tribe, or political party buys food cheaper in any
market anywhere in Nigeria.
“We must, therefore, join hands in moving our nation from
consumption to production, for the good of society. I shared my little Easter
gifts, and Financial support with the community and appreciated them for their
kind words, encouragement, and prayers.
“Together as one, we will build the New Nigeria.”
