\n
Nigerian Youths and Obedient family both in Nigeria and in diaspora have said the message by the former President Olusegun Obasanjo has further boosted their morale and that they are now more determined to win back Nigeria for the future generation.<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n
In an appreciation letter by the National Youth Leader of the Labour\u00a0Party, Prince Kennedy Ahanotu, to Chief Obasanjo, the youth said, “Your message to Nigerians is clear, succinct, refreshing and it has built more confidence in our heart.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
“I am pleased to inform you that we are further motivated, inspired, encouraged, re-energized, united, resolutely committed to stand up and take our future in our hands.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He said that it is always emboldening when a father stands in support for his children to succeed. “Your letter to Nigerians, especially youths is enough to spur us to stand for our right and to vote without being bias along ethno-religious lines.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“With renewed energy and God being our helper we shall make a statement come February general election by massively supporting and voting Labour Party\u2019s candidate \u2013 Mr Peter Gregory Obi and Senator Datti Baba-Ahmed as we join hand together to build a prosperous nation where peace, equity, justice, credibility and excellence reigns.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The former President had In a message to the Nigerian youths endorsed the candidature of the Labour Party Presidential candidate, Peter Obi in the February election while also urging them ensure that he is elected.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Though members of the other two political parties, the APC and PDP are kicking against the endorsement however, Prince Ahanotu said that Nigerians can not afford hand over the nation to the two parties who he said have failed the nation.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He said, “Your Excellency, no doubt the last seven and half years have been painfully eventful and stressful for Nigerian youths with unprecedented increase in unemployment rate, number of out of school children, severe poverty, endemic insecurity and FOREX exchange rate which negatively affected businesses. Indeed, we truly have moved from frying pan to fire, and from mountain top to the valley.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“For many youths it has been hell on earth and incessant scourge of poisonous whips. The worst of it was the long stay at home as a result of protracted Federal Government face-off with lecturers which kept Nigerian students away from school for about 8 months.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“Indeed the challenge thrown is for Nigerian Youths to arise, and we are very much determined to Take Back our Country (Awa lokan). Nigerian Youths are willing to obey this clarion call and do not wish to fall prey again, as we have been trampled beyond our resilient abilities.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“Let me sincerely and humbly thank you for inspiring us with your letter and clearly giving the Nigerian Youths a specific direction with respect to 2023 Presidential election.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“There is a proverb in Igbo parlance which says that \u201can elder does not watch the goat give birth in tatters\u201d. These clear endorsement of Mr Peter Obi on the 1st January 2023 among other presidential candidates by you our elder statesman is timeously very significant and has equally shown that you care about Nigeria\u2019s state of affairs, and the stellar excellent leadership qualities you will want Nigerians to support.”<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
