The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi has analysed events of the 2023 presidential election that brought the Tinubu government into power, urging the people to be determined in their effort to bring about the ‘change’ they need.
The flag bearer of the Labour Party who spoke in Canada over the weekend while addressing the issues of the 2023 presidential election, the failure of the INEC servers etc, praised the people for doing the right things, while encouraging them to be relentless in ensuring that they bring about the necessary change.
Obi said: “Where did we go wrong in the last election? We didn’t go wrong anywhere. We did the right things.
“But as I can always tell people: when you bring a change, you fight all those who live off the old order. They don’t go away; they gang up. And don’t think it’s a straight race to remove an establishment.
“It’s a long-distance journey anywhere in the world. Go and check anywhere, whether you are looking at what happened in India, with Mandela in South Africa, or America. No change has happened overnight, it takes time.
“I urge all of you, if you really want change, we have just begun. We just have to continue from where we are.
“Yes, there might be one or two things we will correct, those things we will correct. I assure you we are correcting them without naming them. It’s not going to be easy.
Speaking on the failure of the INEC server, the former Anambra State governor has this to say: “The INEC server was the same as the establishment. The server would not work because it was the establishment that made it so it wouldn’t work. It’s ours to continue to say that it would work. But there was no glitch.
“Amazon came and said there was no glitch. Amazon glitch is noticed globally – it’s recorded globally. And at that period, we brought down an Amazon person who said this is the number of glitches we have had since inception.
“And there was none that it reported that day. We know it didn’t occur. It was the glitch of the establishment criminality that was in the system. And we must one day make it work,” he said.
