Obi Says National Unity Will Be Top Priority If Elected President by Spectators(op): 11:23am On May 20

*POMR Press Release*
We are not a united nation; my primary goal is to bring Nigeria together. - Obi

Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), has expressed that uniting the country will be his foremost priority if he is elected President. He believes that good governance should ensure that mothers no longer live in fear regarding the safety of their children.

After completing his party's screening process, Obi stated that the path to achieving this vision begins with fostering unity across the nation. He emphasised the importance of adhering to the Nigerian Constitution, which promotes federal character and inclusivity. According to him, a secure and united country is essential.

Obi remarked, "We want mothers to feel safe when their children head to school or work. We envision a Nigeria where travel throughout the country can be done without fear. Many Nigerians currently go to sleep uncertain about their next meal, and this situation must be transformed."

He highlighted the need for a nation where public resources are not turned into private wealth, insisting that a strong fight against corruption is crucial for the benefit of all citizens. "Politicians are too focused on upcoming elections while the citizens are suffering. This has to change," he added.

The former Governor of Anambra State also discussed the length of the screening process, clarifying that it reflects true democratic practices. “The NDC is committed to doing things right. The purpose of the screening was to ensure candidates meet constitutional qualifications and can provide necessary documentation,” Obi explained.

Regarding his status as the sole candidate, Obi commented, "I don't know if anyone else has submitted an application. Until the party officially names me as the only candidate, that remains to be seen.". After the screening, Obi commended the screening committee headed by the former Governor of Ebonyi state Dr Sam Egwu for doing a thorough job and being very professional. He also commended the party's leadership for upholding democratic principles.

Lol. Obi should give one single example in his leadership career he has attempted to be a unifying force. Even in Agulu, I am sure he is segregating Catholics and Anglicans etal.

Our incoming president has spoken. The president of the masses. The president of both the taliqawa and the downtrodden.

We say bye bye to a president of only govenors, lawmakers, senators, and elite politician.

A new Nigeria is POssible!

We need to set the country back to 1999 when we were so united as a nation that we hosted Nigeria '99...Then economy wasn't 100% but food was cheap, education almost free, security tight nothing like Boko Haram or kidnapping... Obi was there and Obi will do it again .. Nigeria will be OK.

90 percent of his followers are in that group. They also know that he's lying.
Once he loses the next election, they will go back to their Biafra agenda. Just wait and see.

There can never be national unity in Nigeria again. With the set of mindset tinubu, his cohorts and poverty has caused, forget unity, Just give us development.
