Presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 general election, Peter Obi, on Saturday, February 14, urged Nigerians in elective offices to crave for credible elections, zero tolerance for corruption and preach unity.
Obi disclosed this in a post on his X handle, where he admonished Nigerians to renew their love for one another and the nation.
He wrote: “Loving Nigeria means promoting fair elections, rejecting vices like corruption, greed, division, and mediocrity, and supporting only those with capacity, commitment, and character.”
“My dear young people of Nigeria, This Valentine’s Day, let us celebrate with responsibility. St. Valentine reminds us that love is not just emotion; it is sacrifice, discipline, and commitment to what is right — honesty, compassion, respect, and devotion to the common good.
“To all Nigerians, let us renew our love for one another and our nation. Like a living being, a country flourishes when nurtured with care and dedication. Loving Nigeria means promoting fair elections, rejecting vices like corruption, greed, division, and mediocrity, and supporting only those with capacity, commitment, and character.
“True patriotism also means pointing out faults and proposing solutions, while promoting human and developmental values– justice, competence, transparency, and investment in education and healthcare. Where corruption destroys opportunity, integrity restores it; where division breeds conflict, unity fosters progress.
“On this Valentine’s Day, let us embrace love that strengthens families, communities, and our nation. A new Nigeria is possible when love becomes action.”
