The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) Peter Obi, says the level of hardship in the country is alarming as people who once called him to feast are now begging for assistance.

Obi stated this when he addressed members of the Labour Party at their National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting and expanded stakeholders’ summit of the LP held at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel in Abuja on Wednesday April 9, 2025.

“The numbers are clear, the indices are clear, people are getting poorer everyday.Those that would call me to come and eat and drink with them, now see me and ask to bring something. Do not fear anybody.Those who were afraid yesterday didn’t do any better. We must speak out when things are going wrong. Nigeria is collapsing”, he said.
