Mr Obi made the pledge on Wednesday during the party’s mega rally held at the Rwang Pam Township Stadium in Jos, Plateau State Capital.
The former Governor of Anambra State called on all Nigerians and OBIdients to reflect on the journey being embarked on as the 2023 campaign season formally kicks off.
“We seek a new nation, but to arrive there, we need prayers and courage”.

“As we head into her next presidential elections in 2023; we aim to canvass for electoral legitimacy, as means to governance legitimacy. So we must do three things urgently”.
“We must pray for peaceful and successful elections; for the turnaround of our country and for the security of the members of the OBIdient Family and every participant including the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC throughout the duration of the exercise,” Obi stated.

He noted that in order to rescue the country, Nigerians must summon up courage and “stand up for what is right to make the much-needed sacrifices.”
He called for prayers for a peaceful and issue-based campaign that will eventually lead to God’s desire for a president that will move Nigeria forward.
Productive Nigeria
He noted that “the Obi-Datti administration represents, the HOPE, AND PROMISE for a united, secure and productive Nigeria and a transformative leadership that is imbued with competence, capacity, credibility and commitment. These 4Cs, are leadership competencies required to turn Nigeria around”.
He promised that if elected as President by all Nigerians, “Plateau State will not only host several potato chips processing companies, which will create jobs for the teeming unemployed youths but other parts of the North will be dotted with several agro-processing industries”.
Mr Obi promised equal opportunities for Nigerians in all sectors, improved power generation, a practical war against insecurity and other forms of criminality, access to education and an end to endless unfulfilled promises.
“Our administration will ensure that Nigerians are fully protected in their homesteads: and that their lives, properties and means of livelihood will always be secured. That, after all, is the Primary Responsibility of government”.
“We have no other country but Nigeria and we must learn to respect each other, tolerate and do things accordingly in order to create an atmosphere that will usher in unity, progress and the greatness we were destined for from inception.”
“God Almighty has blessed Nigeria. It is our job to make this country flourish once again, to regain her pride and to be a nation, where no one is oppressed,” he stated.
