Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), says Nigeria has continued to deal with various challenges which have hindered its growth and development.

In a statement issued via X on Friday, the former Governor of Anambra State said the country has continued to grapple with insecurity, bad economy and other issues at an alarming rate.

He however urged Nigerians not to allow the nation to go down under the present cocktail of challenges.

According to him, he would deliver a Keynote Speech at The Chinua Achebe International Symposium, and the 10th Anniversary Memorial and 40th Anniversary of His seminal booklet “The Trouble with Nigeria” at Princeton University, New Jersey, United States of America.

Owing to the scheduled engagement, he said, he will not participate in the bi-monthly Twitter Space that is due today, 29th September.

“My Dear Obidients and Fellow Nigerians, I wish to humbly and regrettably inform you that I will not participate in our bi-monthly Twitter Space that is due today, 29th September, due to a scheduled inevitable engagement.

“I have earlier been invited to deliver a Keynote Speech at The Chinua Achebe International Symposium, and the 10th Anniversary Memorial and 40th Anniversary of His seminal booklet “The Trouble with Nigeria” at Princeton University, New Jersey, USA.

“Thankfully, my speech will focus on “The Trouble With Nigeria” as written by our Internationally renowned author, Chinua Achebe, 40 years ago, and I would like everyone to be part of it.

“Sadly, Nigeria has continued to grapple with, and at an even more alarming rate, the very troubles written about by Achebe four decades ago.

“However, we must not allow our nation to go down under the present cocktail of challenges. May I request that you all join me today as the event will be streamed live online,” he posted.

Are you sure you are invited?

Corrinthians:
Foolish idiot. Make a damn statement about the activities of terrorists in your region. A retired general has just been kidnapped, and is probably about to be cannibalised by those you referred to as you harmless neighbors.

Never seen such a dubiously dark hearted man my entire life

BoldBrainz:

Obi is not like some people's god who's fighting tooth and nail to hide his "achievements".

Foolish man after drowning Anambra state in-a-cocktail- challenge as failed governor

Proudlyomonna:


Your lies only made Obi more Popular

Under His tenure Anambra saw a new dawn,Education, Infrastructure, Human development, Security, even the IGP gave him the first ratings of the most secured state 4times back to back.

His performance as Governor of Anambra of yesterday crushes Tinubu's performance in big Lagos, former Capital whose foundation for development had been laid down by the whites.

Asked about IPOB criminals he said they were good people he meets everyday in his neighborhood.

BoldBrainz:


Nairaland linguist wey dey teach person new language from verbs instead of alphabets, nouns/pronouns..😂

Teacher Kunle! No wonder you folks are producing the likes of Bola Tinubu!

BoldBrainz:


Igbos were simply honest everyday Nigerians who were disgruntled about their marginalisation, raised voices about it, only for your moronic former President to respond like the Sudan cow that he is. Now they're angry enough to take up arms, and you suddenly want Obi to deny that they're not honest Nigerians?

Does he look like the deceitful bastard that Bola Tinubu is😂?!

illicit:


Didirin

So if I want to learn Igbo now,I must start from Alphabet

Weyrey ni e o

U haven't met people who speaks French, Hausa and Igbo without ever being in school?

Dey use ur brain to think, it's not for fashion

accordadoga30:
Hehehehe

This failure in Alambla state has come again




Okôrö, keep deceiving yourself.

I'm sure you know the truth

BoldBrainz:


I've always suspected you're a mad man who managed to escape the rehab home😂.

Even my dialect has alphabets and nobody has to go to any school to learn them. But once you begin to pick the words as a baby or new learner, you most certainly have to understand that foundation first.

Wherever you went to learn your linguistics must have been where Tinubu got his tissue paper degree that he's attributing to CSU. Try and go back to that school and at least collect your change.
