The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi has explained the meaning of the word Obidient which was coined by his supporters taken from his surname Obi.
The Labour Party (LP) flag bearer in a Twitter post on Saturday said the Obidient means.
“O – Organized; B – broad-based; I – Inclusive; D – democratic; I – international; E – excellence-driven; N – Nigerians from every ethnic group; T – Transparency in governance”, he tweeted.
The banker-turned-politician was a one-time governor of Anambra State for eight years and a successful businessman is currently on a tour of countries, meeting institutions, groups as well as Nigerians abroad.
Speaking in Atlanta on Friday, Obi promised that his administration would invest in security, diplomacy, and economic engagement.
“We look forward to the international community supporting Nigeria’s efforts to promote economic growth and social inclusion; to boldly tackle corruption from its roots.
“We intend to truly stamp out corruption finally with a zero-tolerance approach to this cancer that stymies growth. We will have zero tolerance for corruption. You can expect a sledgehammer approach,” he said.
The candidate said this would take the country on a prosperous path and make it remain a highly valued contributor to the global economy.
Obi added that a stable and peaceful Nigeria would contribute to Africa’s continued rise and integration into the global economy.
