The Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, Peter Obi has
pointed out how his administration would unite Nigeria if elected in 2023.
Obi said his administration would attempt to reunite Nigeria
using the provisions of the law.
Speaking during a town hall meeting in Charlotte, North
Carolina, on Wednesday, Obi said a review of the Nigerian constitution would be
part of the overall restructuring Nigerians desire.
He said: “We will seek to reunite Nigeria through strict
adherence to Constitutional provisions on equitable representation in Federal
establishments and regenerate a sense of belonging to all citizens through
inclusivity and adequate representation of women, youths and people with
disability in government.”
Obi said the constitutional review would entail legislative,
executive, and judicial actions, adding that “ultimately the Nigerian people
will decide”.
He also noted that his government would proactively reassert
Nigeria’s leadership role in African affairs through constructive engagement, using
existing sub-regional and regional forums and bilateral platforms for dialogue
on current and emerging challenges.
