Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate in the 2023 general election, Peter Obi, has urged the younger generation to remain resolute and never give up on Nigeria.<\/p>\n

In a post via his official X handle on Sunday, Obi was speaking to young Nigerians at the Social Media Fest, SMFest, event in Owerri.<\/p>\n

SMFest is a platform that teaches its audience how to leverage the power of technology, social media, and innovation to advance their businesses, brands, and causes, by providing ideas, exposure, and insights that help people and businesses understand how to explore all the advantages of digitalization.<\/p>\n

The former Anambra State Governor admitted that Nigeria was going through tough times but encouraged the youths to be patient and resilient, stressing that success comes to those who stay the course, even in tough times.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, Nigeria is challenging right now, but those of us who are older are finding strength in the passion of the younger generation.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd we say don\u2019t give up! Whether it\u2019s in business, skills development, education, or politics, don\u2019t give up!<\/p>\n

\u201cLife will throw obstacles your way, but stand firm. If you need to, step back, rethink your strategy, evolve, and come back stronger,\u201d he tweeted.<\/p>\n
