The Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has urged the Nigerian youths to take back their country.

Obi spoke in Owerri, Imo State on Saturday while inaugurating the new Secretariat of the party donated by one of his supporters.

He stated that Nigeria cannot continue the way it is.

He said that he was happy that the people were more anxious now to take over the leadership of the country.

Obi stated that he was ready to redirect leadership and pull it out of its sorry state and hand it over to the youth and the other citizens who had borne the brunt of bad leadership all the while.

He said,

“As you know, campaigns have not started. So, I am not here for campaigns. I am here to receive from a wonderful supporter, who gave us this building to support our Labour movement.

“We have not started campaigns. When campaigns start, we will come and we will be able to tell you what we are going to do. But one thing we will assure you is that our journey is not a normal campaign. We are bringing back Nigerians, to take back Nigeria.

“We are going to take back Nigeria and give it to the youth where it belongs. When that time comes, you will know. We will be able to change this country. It cannot continue the way it is, today”.
