A former presidential candidate called for a real fresh start this year. Peter Obi, the Labour Party's 2023 nominee, posted a New Year message pushing for national unity and a deeper commitment to democracy. The ex-Anambra State governor asked Nigerians to embrace justice, accountability, and the rule of law, framing this period as a chance for genuine national renewal built on integrity and shared sacrifice.
He specifically urged leaders to be completely honest about their backgrounds, policies, and health, arguing that public trust depends on transparency. Obi described leadership as a sacred duty to serve, not a chance for personal gain, stressing the need to rebuild a broad national consensus.
