The Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, through the office of the Peter Obi Media Reach, POMR, has lauded President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for harkening to his call in joining him in ensuring the provision of boreholes across the country for the downtrodden in our midst.
Revealing this in a statement on Sunday, Yunusa Tanko, POMR Spokesman, said “Obi had embarked on the project after witnessing what many Nigerians go through trying to get basic needs like drinking water. He had already installed some boreholes as a short time solution in some Northern states of Nasarawa, Bauchi, Kano, Zaria, Kebbi, Suleja Niger State and Sokoto where the situation is acute.
“At the special anniversary of the death of his mother, Alhaja Abibatu Magaji, in Abuja at the weekend, the President announced a nationwide project to construct 400 boreholes as a continuation of charity in the late mother’s memory.
“The POMR commends this spirit of charity from the President as it’s in line with our principal’s desire to attend to the poor in our midst.”
Continuing, he said :“POMR would like to advise that this new line of thinking from the President should be reflected in the government projects which at the moment are not addressing the yearnings of the poor in our midst.
“It remains shameful that in a nation where millions have no access to clean drinking water, millions of children are out of school and have no access to decent healthcare with millions of youths out of jobs, yet the government is placing priority on bogus projects like coastal highway, mansions, flyovers and buying of jets etc as a priority.
“The President’s new spirit of charity, if it continues, will help in pulling many Nigerians out of poverty if it’s diversified.”/PLEASE SHARE
