Peter Obi press conference
6 keys points from his speech.
His message to the youths and the Obi-dients.
I thank thank them for their hardwork. Gratitude to the OBIdients, the youths, those who believe that a new Nigeria is possible and I have said to them, a new Nigeria is possible and we will work for that new Nigeria that is possible. Their resilience, their hard work, for a new Nigeria should not wane. Datti and I remain committed to that New Nigeria. I know how they will be feeling now because of the way the electiond have come and gone. The commitment and resilience of Nigerians even in the face of unwarranted barbaric attacks, is a testimony that a new Nigeria is indeed possible. I look at people like Lady Jennifer, who was stabbed but insisted on voting, and that gives me courage know that a new Nigeria is indeed possible.
On the conduct of the elections.
The election that we just witnessed, have been conducted and results announced as programmed. It is a clear deviation from electoral rules and guidelines as we were promised. This election as you know did not meet the minimum standard expected of free, transparent, credible and fair elections. It will go down as one of the most controversial elections ever conducted in Nigeria.
His appeal to Nigerians.
However, let me humbly and most respectfully appeal to all Nigerians to remain peaceful, law abiding and conduct themselves in a most responsible manner. Please be assured that Datti and I and indeed all of us. This is not the end but the beginning of the journey for the birth of a new Nigeria.
His commitment to the project of a “New Nigeria”
Datti Baba Ahmed and I remain absolutely undaunted and deeply committed to the project of a new Nigeria that will be built on honesty, transparency, fairness, justice and equity. All the above starts with the process. The process through which people come into office is far more fundamental, more important than what they do thereafter. It is my belief; that I have maintained so consistently, that if you must answer your excellency, the process through which you arrive to the office must be excellent.
