TEXT OF PRESS CONFERENCE BY 2023 LABOUR PARTY VICE-PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE, SEN YD BABA-AHMED PhD AT CHIDA EVENTS CENTER, UTAKO, ABUJA, ON 01 DEC 2022 Protocols: 1. Ladies and Gentlemen of the Press, I am glad to welcome you to this Press Conference which is informed by the need to set records straight and highlight some incremental challenges to the signed Peace Accord. 2. Peter Obi is a successful businessman, a two term Governor, Vice Presidential Candidate in 2019, who subsequently moved to Labour Party, where he is now the Presidential Candidate enjoying tremendous goodwill and overwhelming support of the people. 3. In the squabble for second and third positions, some erstwhile major political parties appear to have crossed the boundaries of decency to transgress our peaceful activities and our focus on political schedules. 4. On the 29th September 2022, an eminent group of statesmen under the aegis of the National Peace Committee, brought together all the Presidential Candidates to sign a Peace Accord, which represents an agreed code of conduct for the 2023 Presidential Elections. 5. Ladies and Gentlemen of the press, it is unfortunate that despite the noble objectives of this initiative, disinformation and misinformation about the Labour Party and its candidates have become fashionable in this election season. 6. Recently, for example there was a false narrative been spread nationwide that Mr Peter Obi is against the production of oil in the north; nothing could be farther from the truth. 7. Peter Obi has repeatedly stated at various local and international fora that the greatest physical asset of Nigeria is the vast rich land in the North, and declared his commitment as a visionary transformative leader to exploit same for the overwhelming benefit of the Nigerian people. To the architect of ‘’consumption to production’, oil in the North means more revenue for development, more jobs and opportunities. 8. Earlier attempts to discredit the Obi’s candidacy through fabricated allegations of demolition of mosques, internal deportation of Northerners, issuance of ID cards to northerners, and ethic hostilities were all conclusively proven to be false and without basis. 9. As if those were not enough, just a few days ago, the presidential candidate of the APC speaking in Delta State, and referring to our presidential candidate, said that it was a disgrace to mention his name. While our candidate is quite comfortable with not being mentioned, it is most unpresidential, indecorous and disrespectful from the candidate who claims his turn at Nigerian Presidency. 10. APCs strategy against Peter Obi now appears very clearly centered on promoting falsehood, in addition to empty and derogatory personal attacks, and of course this is because they can find no contentious points of negativity to push. 11. Little wonder that their Vice Presidential candidate has consistently put to shame the noble heritage of the great Bornu Empire, in his unguarded and uncultured public pronouncements, which expose his intellectual laziness and discomfort with empirical facts and arguments. Regular insults which have now become his trademark, have not spared the current Vice President whom he directed to go and sell ice cream, nor the former Vice President whom he described as a pure water seller, a noble venture which serves the populace better than a certain white substance. 12. It is pertinent to recall how Mr. Shettima at a recent public event belittled Atiku Abubakar’s educational qualification as well as the modest lifestyle of Peter Obi. Clearly Mr. Shettima is out of touch with reality and cannot understand that people like Peter Obi who have reached the heights in business and material achievement have long transcended the need for ostentatious display of wealth. 13. We congratulate Mr. Shettima on having improved his dressing, but equally remind him that he needs to improve on his public composure and discipline in communication. Shettima is called upon to speak kindly and more responsibly about all personalities if only to uphold long-established standards. 14. We cannot also forget his disposition and uncooperative attitude when hundreds of schoolgirls were abducted under his watch as governor in 2014 where he did little to secure them in the first place or facilitate their rapid rescue; a Governor under who education was sustained as ‘forbidden’. The circumstances of his emergence as a Candidate in 2011 leaves yet many questions unanswered. 15. Others are not left out; It is important to underline that Oaths of office do not expire with tenure, and hence the comment that the Northern electorate do not need a Yoruba or Igbo leader is greatly at variance with the oaths of office taken in 1999 and 2003 respectively, and the Peace Accord of 2022. This is to call upon the owner of the statement to respectfully retract same in order to be readmitted to the honour list of esteemed presidential candidates. Truth of the matter is that every Nigerian from anywhere needs a credible and competent President. Simple. 16. Going beyond the comments of candidates, it is important to further highlight, some other developments of concern to us in the Labour Party. We are concerned about the fate of areas designated by security agencies as ungoverned spaces which contain legally delineated polling units. It is necessary for INEC to clearly address the nation on how it intends to handle the challenge of conducting elections in these areas. 17. Over the past few months we have witnessed various attacks on Labour Party Offices, meetings and our members in parts of the country, and even INEC offices have not been spared. Just a couple of days ago, Mrs. Victoria Chintex, our vibrant and able Women Leader in Kaura LG of Kaduna State was assassinated while members of her family escaped with injuries. Senseless killings have gone on for too long. We call on government within time left to at least make attempts at fulfilling its 2015 promise of securing lives and property, while serving justice to the killers. Kindly therefore join me in observing a moment of silence in remembrance of her and indeed all victims all over the country. 18. We are alarmed by the reported arrest, battery, and detention of Aminu Mohammed, a final-year student of the Federal University Dutse, over an alleged social media post, about the person of the First Lady. While as we have presented earlier in this address, we will never as a party condone indecorous speech and disrespect to elders, we wish to remind the Buhari State House that they rode to power on the personal denigration of their opponents and empty promises without slightest clues of good governance. Individuals must be free to express themselves freely and any infraction of law be pursued as civil matter and not through high-handed abuse of power. This is not 1984. We lend our voice to the genuine calls for his immediate release. 19. We have so far endured the afore-mentioned and have taken remedial actions where necessary and where not we simply ignored. Civility and respect of law must not be read by misguided elements as signs of weakness on our part. It is not too late to adopt our style of strictly campaigning on relevant practical national issues while respecting individuals, and institutions. Any actions to the contrary the people responsible must know they will be held accountable in the decent manner we have presented our issues here today, and in the ways of the law. 20. 2023 Elections will be different as Nigerian Electorate are increasingly becoming aware of the dangers of ethnic and religious politics; a fact that causing anxiety, frustration, and desperation with political actors of the old order. Consequently these attacks against us are only likely to increase; we must call on authorities to live up to constitutional responsibilities, and on the general public to regard lies, misinformation, and propaganda for exactly what they are. 21. The ObiDient Movement under Labour Party will continue to remain faithful to founding principles and the Signed Peace Accord and we equally invite all stake-holders to emulate. The next few weeks will see an escalation of election activity. I urge all who have not yet collected their PVCs, to do so without delay, and to follow through, to identify their polling booths, vote, and defend their votes. 22. I wish to sincerely thank the vast majority of our people, the Youth and elderly alike, from all across the nation, who have continued not just to embrace Peter Obi, my humble self, and our great party, but who are daily investing their time and resources in making sure that other Nigerians share in their conviction and imbibe the urgency of positive action in the coming elections. With Us, A New Nigeria is Possible. GOD BLESS FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA. Thank you all for coming

Tinubuwins2023e: As fraudulent as their pay master ![]()

nwakaegomarcy3:WHY THE HAUSAS MUST NOT VOTE ATIKU 1. Have you ever seen a fulani boy doing almajiri? None. Only hausa boys are used as religious slaves. The fulani boys are following their fulani fathers in rearing their cows. 2. You said bandits kill muslims too. Please tell me how many fulanis have been killed by bandits/boko haram? None. Only Hausas are killed. 3. Tell me how many fulanis have been kidnapped for ransom? None. Only hausas are kidnapped for ransom. 4. Have you heard that bandits captured fulani women or girls for sex? No. Only Hausa women and girls are captured and raped. 5. Do bandits/boko haram seize farmlands from fulanis? Not at all. Only hausa farmlands are seized. 6. Who do bandits and boko harams turn to bondage of paying taxes in the North? Hausas of course, not fulanis. 7. Why are the fulanis exempted from the menace of bandits and boko harams ? Give your honest answer, pls. 8. Who are those in IDP camps in the North? The Hausas again. So, where are the fulanis in the North? 9. Etc etc etc From the above, it is evident that hausas bear the brunt of insecurity in the North. Why are the fulanis exempted? Because the insecurity is a fulani agenda. Stop deceiving the hausas with religion. Fulanis are not religious. Fulanis use religion as deception to achieve their political objective. With these, any hausa that foolishly vote Atiku, a fulani man, on the basis of same religion will remain a perpetual slave to the fulanis. Hausas should chop the money and vote Peter Obi.

nwakaegomarcy3:If they like let them vote Atiku/PDP in 2023. Fulani bandits will finish them. If North wants to see peace, they should vote Peter Obi, who will deal decisively with the useless bandits

dre11:I support Afenifere again.. Atiku usurped the PDP Southern Presidential mandate. Remember that Atiku fought GEJ in 2015 that it was turn of the North to produce president. Atiku then decamped from PDP to APC to support Buhari, the then Northern candidate . Any Southerner that votes Atiku is naïve in Nigeria politics. Moreover, Atiku is Fulani just like President Buhari. Voting Atiku to take over from Buhari is a great insult to quota system, federal character and rotational presidency which define the attribute of equity, justice and fairness as practiced in Nigeria. Vote Peter Obi, the most competent Southern candidate, to take back Nigeria.

dat9jaguy:We are suffering in this country because of illegality. So call leaders just pick an ass licker for employment despite the ass lickers incompetency. Employment should follow due process.. ![]()

TubosunOlutunde:Yes. |
dat9jaguy:Only those who believe in illegality will support the Ex-Gov. Why hurriedly employ people when you have lost an election? That is dubiousness, not smartness. That illegal employment must not be allowed to stand..
