“No part of Nigeria will be left behind” – Peter Obi declares after meeting Afenifere leaders
Former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has met with the leadership of Afenifere, the pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation.
The meeting, held on September 16, was hosted by Oba Oladipo Olaitan, leader of Afenifere, who also heads a coalition of ethnic nationality groups, including PANDEF and the Middle Belt Forum.
In a statement posted on X, Obi said the discussions focused on the state of the nation, particularly education, healthcare and poverty alleviation.
“I sincerely thank them for their courage for always standing out for fearless justice and the unity of our country, and urge them not to relent,” he wrote.
The former Anambra governor added that he remains committed to building “an all-inclusive, united Nigeria where no part will be left behind.”
Obi had earlier announced that he would contest for the presidential election in 2027.
