Presidential poll is battle between light and darkness – Peter Obi

The vice presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Mr Peter Obi, has described the next presidential election as a battle between darkness and light.

Speaking at Agulu, during a lecture organised by African Community of Transformers with the theme, ‘South-East Political Culture: Peter Obi as Paradigm Shift’, Obi said Nigerians have the opportunity now to choose between the two alternatives.

Obi urged Nigerians to choose a system that “will start working again through tackling of employment and creating a new Nigeria that would provide the basic needs of Nigerians” or “remain stuck to the country’s present economic backwardness”.

According to him, he agreed to contest with Alhaji Abubakar Atiku because they shared the vision of making Nigeria work again.
