The presidential hopeful and Vice Presidential candidate, Peter Obi, says he will introduce free education and health care for all Nigerians.
He says the plan will make the country, a nation of over 160 million people, even more self-reliant in the future. Obi says the Nigerian people have been robbed of wealth and opportunities. He attributes part of this loss to past leaders who have failed to deliver on promises. He says his plan will free Nigeria from poverty.
Obi says the people of Nigeria are tired of dictatorship and war. He says Nigeria needs to be transformed into a peaceful, democratic and united society, one that can create conditions that protect national security and the Nigerian people. He says his vision for Nigeria would guarantee the security of all Nigerian citizens.
The Presidential contest is currently at the second round, with presidential and Vice Presidential candidates now in a runoff against the top contestants from the first round, which was held on May 20.
The second round is slated on August 16, and the main winner will be declared on September 16. Voting will take place from Monday to October 15.
