Nation Building And Ordered Society Are Imperative
Remarks to the Press by Mr. Peter Gregory Obi, Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party Leader on the 53rd Anniversary of the end of the Nigerian Civil War Abuja FCT, Sunday, 15th January 2023ï 7:00a.m.
Fellow Nigerians,
- 15th January, a very special and unique day in 2023 as it was 53 years ago! 40 days from today, Nigerians will be voting in an election that many regard as the most crucial and existential decision we have to make as a nation, and particularly for our children and youths, given the sad state of our dear nation, Nigeria: alarming insecurity, unemployment, poverty, inflation, debt, hunger, disunity, hopelessness and many other indices of a failing state. It was also on 15th January, 53 years ago, a very special red-letter day for Nigeria that the booming of guns and other paraphernalia of battle were formally silenced in the thirty-month civil war in which millions of lives were regrettably lost and an unquantifiable number of properties destroyed!
