From Yakubu Mustapha, Minna
Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi has promised to put an end to the security challenges bedeviling the country and assured to complete the Baro Port project in Niger state.
The presidential candidate made this known during a town hall meeting with women and youths in Minna, saying that if elected in the forthcoming presidential election, women would be given the needed priority in the governance of Nigeria.
He further said he would ensure that Nigeria utilizes its abundant natural resources to grow its economy, calling on eligible voters to vote for competency rather than looking at the tribes, religion or regional affiliations of candidates.
