A former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), David Babachir Lawal, has appealed to Nigerians to vote massively for the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi in this Saturday’s polls.
He said the desired change Nigerians are yearning for was possible under Obi’s presidency.
Lawal spoke yesterday at a National Endorsement Prayer for Obi-Datti Presidency organised by a coalition of LP support groups and Enyimba Progressive Association, chaired by Prof Pat Obiefule.
“We want a new Nigeria, we want to take back our country and make it great and we all believe that the team that can do this for us is the one led by Peter Obi and Datti Baba-Ahmed,” Lawal said.
Similarly, Peter Obi Support Network (POSN) yesterday expressed optimism that Obi would defeat other candidates.

Addressing a press conference in Abuja, the Co-convener, Peter Obi Support Network, Mazi Tochukwu Ezeoke, said at the moment, Nigeria is in intensive care, waiting for the person with capacity, competence and character to rescue her.
He said, “A vote for Peter Obi is a vote for prosperity, a vote for security, a vote for employment, a vote for good governance, a vote for good roads, a vote for quality educational system, a vote for quality health facilities, a vote against nepotism and a vote to destroy the structures of corruption in the country.
“We urge Nigerians to come out en masse to vote for Peter Obi this weekend. It is the pathway to the nation’s promised land.”
