“This Ship Must Sail” — Obi after decamping to NDC

Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, declared support for a new political direction following his move to the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC). During a political consultation meeting with party leaders, he emphasized the urgent need for reforms to expand opportunities and boost productivity, noting that over half of the population is not actively participating in productive activities. Obi also urged an end to internal party conflicts to focus on national development.
