Speaking at the meeting, the Presidential candidate of the party said Nigeria as a nation has been locked in an internally displaced camp.
He said this is the situation of the country because its citizens who should be living the life of free borns in their country are scattered in various internally displaced camps across the country.
The Presidential candidate of the Labour Party said this in Abuja while speaking to newsmen.
He said Nigeria as a nation has continued to advance poverty among the citizens through its policies that have not improved the life of luxury Nigerians.
According to him: “As far as Nigerians are suffering, Every Nigeria is suffering, you cannot be a rich man in a poor environment.”
He maintained that hope drives the campaign for the 2023 elections to remain a challenge for Nigerians to effect the change that would birth a new country.
He said “As far as there is insecurity in Nigeria, there is insecurity in Nigeria. As far as there is poverty in Nigeria, it means there is insecurity in Nigeria.
“If you say the highest number of people without a job are in the North, the highest number of insecurity is in the North, then Nigeria has the highest number of jobless people, and insecurity, it doesn’t matter where they reside, because they are Nigerians,” he said.
