The Labour Party in Nigeria has called on former President Goodluck Jonathan and former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar to support the new direction represented by Mr. Peter Obi. This appeal was made by the party’s Interim National Publicity Secretary, Tony Akeni, during an interview on Arise Television on Friday.

According to Akeni, the party is urging Jonathan to consider the desires of the majority of Nigerians, who are seeking a presidency led by a younger person with a record of integrity, character, and consistency. Akeni emphasized that most Nigerians have embraced the idea of a younger president who resonates with them. He stressed that it is imperative for Atiku Abubakar and Goodluck Jonathan to accept that it is time for a change in direction.

The Labour Party’s appeal comes as Nigeria’s political landscape continues to evolve, with various candidates and parties vying for positions of power. The party’s call for Jonathan and Abubakar to support Peter Obi reflects the growing demand for new leadership and a shift away from traditional politics.

Nigeria has a complex political history, with various parties and individuals playing significant roles in shaping the country’s future. The Labour Party’s appeal to Jonathan and Abubakar is seen as an attempt to unite Nigerians behind a common goal, which is to usher in a new era of leadership that is more in tune with the aspirations of the majority.

As the political landscape in Nigeria continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how Jonathan and Abubakar will respond to the Labour Party’s appeal. The party’s call for a new direction has sparked interest and debate among Nigerians, with many waiting to see how events will unfold in the coming days and weeks. The outcome of this development will likely have significant implications for Nigeria’s political future.
