I never complained of what my predecessor did. My government did not complain. The work of a leader is not to complain, it is to find solution. We are telling you we are not going to complain. We are not going to remind you of your past,\u00a0 we are going to remind you of your future, and we are going to give you a great future\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">He promised to restore the lost glory of Onitsha as a trading centre in Africa, noting that Anambra is a manufacturing state. \u201cThose era will come back again. When I was a governor, I brought so much industries. I built industrial estate, I supported INNOSON motors amongst others.\u00a0 When I become president,\u00a0 I will do it in Kaduna, Kano, Lagos, Kogi and all over the nation\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cWe will return Borno as a fishing centre. Every part of Nigeria will turn to productive centre. Nigeria will produce food and we will not be hungry again, because we have farm land in the North. We will cultivate all those farm land in the North. I will build factories in the East and the ports in Port- Harcout and Warri will be put to use again. I will open up a road from Anambra to Abuja that will make the trip for just three hours\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">He promised if elected to elevate INNOSON motors and other local car companies to export their products. And young Nigerians who have fled the country will return because situation will improve and we will be better than where they are in other countries.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">He noted that today one dollar is 750 Naira ,but \u201cI have told them to allow us into power so that it can start reversing. We will ensure that we export enough to stabilise the Naira.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u00a0On the issue of insecurity in the country especially the South East, the LP candidate said he will find a lasting solution to it.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u00a0\u201cWe will make sure that we negotiate, discuss, beg, cajole people. We will beg everyone but if they refuse to hear, we will tell them that we are in government. But there will be peace.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Obi said that if he is given the opportunity to serve Nigeria as President he will be celebrated all over the country because of what he will do to unlock the potentials of all parts of the country.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cIf I am president, the North will celebrate me because I will fight poverty in the north. I will fight out of school in the north. If I am the President, the South- South will celebrate me because I will use what ever is remaining in the oil resources to clean the zone and bring life to South-South. If I am president the South-West will celebrate me because I am going to turn Lagos into financial hub of Africa. If I am president,\u00a0 the South-East will celebrate me because I will turn the zone into business centre in Africa.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The Labour Party Vice Presidential Candidate Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmad who also addressed the rally said the country is ready for power to come to the South-East and wondered if there&#8217;s anybody from the region who is not ready for it.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u00a0\u201cNigeria is ready for South-East, the North is ready for you and let me see anybody from South- East who doesn&#8217;t want power to come to your zone\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Explaining why the power rotation rightly belongs to the South-East, Datti said, \u201cIn 2019, Peter Obi and his likes, all serious politicians from the South, even with their money, resources and experience decided not to contest the presidential election because they reasoned it was the turn of the North. Now in 2023, no one should drag it with the South-East\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Also speaking in the same vain the National Chairman of the Labour Party, Comrade Julius Abure reminded Anambra people that, \u201cany opportunity that is lost can never come back. This opportunity that is in Nigeria today, Anambra people must not allow it to be lost.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">If Nigeria Presidency is to be turn by turn, and \u201cIf there is anyone who can say that it is his turn, it should be Peter Obi because every other zone has tasted power except South-East.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Earlier before the rally, Obi and his team had met with critical political influencers in the state, students and youths, traditional rulers and women groups.<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Labour Party Presidential team led by the Candidate, Mr. Peter Obi touched down in his home state of Anambra state on Tuesday with unprecedented crowd of\u00a0 young, women, and&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":100827,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-102424","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>I&#039;ll rather focus on providing solution than complain about past government - Peter Obi - Pointblank News<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/news\/ill-rather-focus-on-providing-solution-than-complain-about-past-government-peter-obi\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"I&#039;ll rather focus on providing solution than complain about past government - Peter Obi - Pointblank News\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Labour Party Presidential team led by the Candidate, Mr. Peter Obi touched down in his home state of Anambra state on Tuesday with unprecedented crowd of\u00a0 young, women, and&hellip;\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/news\/ill-rather-focus-on-providing-solution-than-complain-about-past-government-peter-obi\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Pointblank News\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2023-01-10T19:24:27+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/peter-obi-4-700x375.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"700\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"375\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Our Reporter\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Our Reporter\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"4 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/news\/ill-rather-focus-on-providing-solution-than-complain-about-past-government-peter-obi\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/news\/ill-rather-focus-on-providing-solution-than-complain-about-past-government-peter-obi\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Our Reporter\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/#\/schema\/person\/ba61acbe7e8967bcf3f3ba603d9db23c\"},\"headline\":\"I&#8217;ll rather focus on providing solution than complain about past government &#8211;
