Peter Obi, the Labour Party's presidential candidate from the 2023 elections, has launched an initiative called ‘Operation Rescue Nigeria,’ urging citizens to unite in the face of poor governance that has plagued the country for years. At the OBIDIENT Conference held in Uyo, Obi emphasized that this movement is not about his personal ambition but about the shared future of Nigeria’s upcoming generations, who will inherit the consequences of the country’s current leadership failures.

During his address, Obi highlighted the importance of electoral integrity, specifically the need for real-time online transmission of election results to ensure transparency and accountability in the electoral process. He stated that Nigeria must prepare to get the 2027 elections right, as the past patterns of governance have proven detrimental to national growth and stability. His call for unity among Nigerians aims to bridge divides across different political affiliations, focusing on collective progress rather than individual agendas.

Obi's message resonates in the current political climate as many Nigerians express disillusionment with the traditional political establishment. By rallying support for ‘Operation Rescue Nigeria,’ Obi aims to mobilize a broad base of citizens committed to democratic reform and enhanced governance. The success of such initiatives rests on overcoming entrenched political divides and fostering a spirit of cooperation among the populace as they approach the crucial 2027 elections.
