While addressing the Obidient Nigerian community in the Washington DC in the United States, Barrister Abure said, the participation of Peter Obi’s in the 2023 general election, made it possible for the party to change the political narratives in Nigeria.
“We gave them a run for their money. They have murdered sleep, and they will sleep no more. They have stolen what is not for them, and they will not sleep until we recover it all.
“We are expecting judgment between now and 16th of September. And I am very sure Peter Obi will become president.
“Without sounding immodest, since they took over, things are now worse. The only party and the only candidate that has solutions to the challenges of the country is Labour Party and Peter Obi. And so we still believe that things will change in Nigeria. “I want to say that we should not lose hop. We should not be discouraged. The hope is still alive, and I am confident that Peter Obi will be president.”
