A group of young Nigerians in the diaspora have expressed optimism that the former governor of Anambra State and Labour Party (LP) Presidential candidate, Peter Obi would revamp the nation’s ail­ing economy if elected as President in the 2023 general election

The group, acting under the auspices of ‘Nigerian Youths Movement Diaspora Organisation’ (NYMDO), South East Asia Chapter said “Obi appears to be the best candidate to bring about sustainable development needed to lift Nigeria out of her current pathetic and unfathomable condition.”

The release signed by the Group Coordinator Comrade, Kingsley Nwankwo, and made available to newsmen hinted that “the candidature of the astute economist has no doubt brought a fresh air for the people of Nige­ria since he opted to contest under the Labour Party.

“Obi’s economy policy and framework, if implemented in Nigeria, will make the country to rank among the best comity of states in Africa and in the world,” the statement reads in part.

While also promising to sup­port the political aspiration of the LP Presidential Flagbearer, the group appealed to all Nigerians especially youths, who are more in numbers, to rally their support for “the vibrant, articulate and independent-minded politicians like Obi to emerge victorious at the forthcoming general elec­tions.”
