From George Onyejiuwa, Owerri
The Presidential Candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in the January 16, 2027 general elections, Mr Peter Obi, has reiterated his unwavering commitment to rescuing Nigeria from its prevailing state of anomie and wastefulness, insisting that a new Nigeria is possible.
Obi stated this in Owerri, the Imo State capital, while speaking at a town hall meeting, last weekend.
Addressing a mammoth crowd of enthusiastic party members, the former Anambra State governor expressed profound gratitude to Ndi Imo for their overwhelming turnout, solidarity, and enthusiastic reception.
He emphasised that the transformation of Nigeria would require a deliberate departure from wasteful governance towards prudent resource management, institutional accountability and strategic investment in critical sectors, particularly education, healthcare and productive enterprise. He further stressed the imperative of transitioning Nigeria from a consumption-dependent economy to a robust, production-driven economy capable of generating employment, stimulating growth, and restoring national prosperity.

“A New Nigeria Is Possible,” Mr Obi expressed confidence that with visionary leadership, fiscal discipline and an unwavering commitment to the welfare of citizens, Nigeria could reclaim its rightful position as a nation of immense promise and opportunity.
In his remarks, Senator Victor Umeh underscored the imperative of equity, justice, and fairness in Nigeria’s political and developmental architecture, particularly with regard to the legitimate aspirations of the South East. He maintained that national cohesion could only be achieved through genuine inclusiveness, equitable representation, and a governance structure that recognises and accommodates the interests of all constituent parts of the federation.
In his welcome address, the Chairman of NDC, Imo State Chapter, Chief Reginald Uwakwe, warmly received the presidential candidate and his entourage, reaffirming the unity, organisational cohesion and electoral preparedness of the party in Imo State. He assured the presidential candidate that the Imo State chapter was strategically positioned and fully mobilised to deliver over 1.5 million votes for the NDC in the forthcoming general elections.
The event attracted an array of distinguished political personalities and party stakeholders, including the Imo State Coordinator, Presidential Campaign Council, Chief Martins Agbaso (Ochoudo); member of the NDC Presidential Campaign Advisory Council, Chief Achike Udenwa; members of the State Working Committee (SWC); all NDC candidates contesting for seats in the Imo State House of Assembly, National Assembly, and Local Government elections; representatives of the Obidient Movement; Kwankwasiyya Movement, market women, students, artisans, and civil society organisations, among others.
