Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Ahead of the next year\u2019s presidential election, Umar Farouk, the National Secretary of the Labour Party (LP), says only Nigerians can stop Peter Obi, the party\u2019s presidential candidate, from winning the 2023 elections.<\/p>\n

Farouk disclosed this on Thursday while featuring on the Channels Television\u2019s Politics Today programme.<\/p>\n

He maintained that with the momentum of the \u201cObidients\u201d, the party is guaranteed victory.<\/p>\n

However, Farouk insisted that the Nigerian people must decide that they are tired of the old order.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is the docility of Nigerians not to select good leaders. If Nigerians feel that they want to continue with the old order, that they don\u2019t want a good leader, a leader that is going to salvage the situation that is up to them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
