Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in 2023, has put an end to his campaign.
This was stated by the former governor of Anambra when he met with the governor of Benue State on Wednesday in Abuja.
His choice was motivated by the suffering of the people devastated by the flooding that wreaked havoc in several parts of the nation last week.
Atiku Abubakar and Bola Tinubu, the candidates for president of the Peoples Democratic Party and the ruling All Progressives Congress, were also urged by Obi to follow suit.
According to him, if the candidates can spend millions of Naira on their expression forms, they ought to be able to assist the flood victims who lost their homes.
He said, “I personally stopped and told my people no more campaign, until we are able to visit some of the sites, at least sympathise with those going through problems.
“I came to take permission and ask him (Ortom) that I want to visit some of the sites in Benue as I am going to do in one or two other states.
“I am also calling other presidential candidates to stop campaigning and see what we can do.
“If we can buy our forms for millions of naira, we should have some little thing to go, now that people are suffering, and at least show sympathy with them and then we can continue.”
