Peter Obi applauds OBIdients following rally across Nigeria and diaspora
Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, tenders a note of appreciation to his supporters, OBIdients, following a One-Million-Man rally that spread across the country and outside Nigeria.
The supporters of the former PDP member on Nigeria’s 62nd Independence Day took to the streets of many states in Nigeria to campaign for the coming 2023 election.
Many supporters outside Nigeria also did their part as seen in Ghana, the United Kingdoms, and in America.
In an appreciation post via the micro-blogging platform, Twitter, Peter Obi wrote to his supporters;
“Dear OBIdients, today will go down in history as a day Nigerians spoke with one united voice; the message is clear and simple – A NEW NIGERIA IS POSSIBLE! From Lagos, Bauchi, Benin City, Warri, Osogbo, Kaduna, Uyo, Aba, London, New York and many more, OBIdients made a bold statement with generally very peaceful rallies.
The very young, and old men and women in their millions marched in solidarity and in support of our collective vision of a New Nigeria. I salute Nigerian Youths.
I thank you all most sincerely, for your passion, resolve and resiliency. You have shown the world that Nigeria is ready for change, and that the majority are ready to lead the way.
Thank you all for the sacrifices. Our labours shall never be in vain and there is no stopping us now. May Almighty God bless you all and bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria. -PO”
Rishi Sunak has vowed to deliver for Brits by working "day in, day out" as he made his first speech since winning the race to become the country's next Prime Minister. In a brief address that lasted just 86 seconds and only 184 words, the new Tory leader said Liz Truss led with "grace and dignity" during her brief stint in office. He warned the country faced a "profound economic challenge" and needed "stability and unity" to build a "better, more prosperous future for our children and our grandchildren." This comes as this afternoon Sunak ruled out a general election and told Tory MPs to "unite or die" in his first speech as Prime Minister. The former Chancellor had secured the backing of at least 200 Conservative MPs ahead of the 2pm nomination deadline to be Tory leader. His rival Ms Mordaunt bowed out moments before the deadline. Boris Johnson briefly sparked outrage after cutting his Dominican Republic holiday short...
Liz Truss’ personal phone was ‘hacked’ by spies suspected of working for Vladimir Putin , it has been reported. According to the Mail on Sunday, agents thought to be working for the Kremlin downloaded a year’s worth of messages and top secret discussions with international allies. But it’s claimed Boris Johnson and Cabinet Secretary Simon Case agreed to suppress information about the cyber-attack, which was discovered during the Tory leadership campaign. Allies were worried that if the news broke it could derail her chances of becoming Prime Minister - and it’s claimed she “had trouble sleeping” until Mr Case “imposed a news blackout.” The incendiary story will raise serious questions about the UK’s security apparatus - and of the judgement of both Mr Johnson and Mr Case. Mr Case this week decided not to investigate Home Secretary Suella Braverman ’s alleged leak of sensitive information, despite widespread calls for a probe. A UK Government spokesperso...
The United States, through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), is providing $1 million in immediate humanitarian assistance to support the people affected by unprecedented flooding in Nigeria. The unusually heavy rainfall and resulting flooding have affected nearly 2.8 million people across the country. In addition, many homes have been damaged or completely destroyed, displacing millions of people. The floods have exacerbated an already critical humanitarian situation in Nigeria, where ongoing conflict, especially in the northern region, has driven millions of people from their homes. In the same region, more than 4 million people are projected to continue experiencing acute food insecurity amid the worsening global food crisis. We are also concerned that standing floodwaters could increase the risk of cholera and other waterborne diseases in Adamawa, Borno, and Yobe states, where cholera outbreaks were declared in August and September and at least...
