Special adviser on media to Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, for the 2023 general elections, Mr Valentine Obienyem has said that the LP candidate believes that only good governance in Nigeria would resolve the problem of Nigerians living illegally in foreign countries.
In a statement on Wednesday, Obienyem said: “During our last visit to the UK, while Mr Peter Obi was discussing with a UK Minister, he wanted to know what would be the position of Obi on Nigerians living illegally in the UK.
“In replying, Obi said that discussions such as that were part of the insult on Nigeria and Nigerians, which good governance would resolve finally.
“He made it clear to them that most Nigerians abroad would gladly come back on their own once good governance is enthroned.
“He reminded them that the duty they owe Nigeria is to support a free and fair election that would guarantee the people’s choices.”
According to Obienyem, the reason Nigerians were rooting for Peter Obi is that he is so truthful and speaks to people’s hearts as one of those at the receiving end of poor governance in Nigeria.
“Recall what I wrote about him, which is that each time he speaks about Nigeria, he is so plain and truthful that they affect that catharsis of emotion that even set some people crying and yearning for his success,” he said.
