The Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, on Monday stated that all the presidential candidates contesting in the 2023 election are promising Nigerians the same thing.

The former Anambra governor disclosed this while speaking on the Arise Tv Morning Show programme, expressing that the only difference in every candidate’s promises is trust.

Obi said, “All of us are saying the same thing, but what makes a difference is – who can we trust? This election is about trust. We are promising the same thing, but can we look at the antecedents? Things they have promised in the past, how they delivered it or attempted to deliver it.

“Who among these people can we say have the character, the competence, the capacity, the commitment to at least do what he is saying? That is what differentiates us.

 

“We’ve had promises in the past. We’ve had promises that the dollar is going to be one-to-one. Now we are almost 800 to one, and nobody is saying anything.

“We do not need all these fanciful, fair, good-looking manifestos or documents that are written. Let the people come and talk. You mentioned Britain, it was because what she (Truss) promised, she could not deliver; and, honourably, she packed her suitcase and went out.”
