Peter Obi finally releases 2023 election manifesto
The Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, on Saturday released his campaign manifesto for the 2023 general election.
The former Anambra State governor released the 72-page document titled: “It’s POssible: Our Pact with Nigerians” at the Labour Party Secretariat in Abuja.
In the document, he outlined his plans for the country, including the revamp of the economy, security, and corruption if elected as president next year.

The LP candidate highlighted how he planned to spearhead the shift from consumption to production by running a production-centered economy driven by an agrarian revolution and export-oriented industrialization.
He also promised to restructure the polity through effective legal and institutional reforms to entrench the rule of law, aggressively fight corruption, reduce the cost of governance, and establish an honest and efficient civil service.
Obi has come under criticism from many Nigerians, including a former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, and the All Progressives Congress (APC) supporters for failing to come up with a manifesto just 84 days before the 2023 general elections.
