Labour Party (LP) 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has said he is committed to building a new Nigeria where political parties would be bigger than governments.
He made the commitment recently at the public presentation of two books entitled, The Bubbles of Nigeria’s Democracy: The Musings of a Nigerian Journalist and Wadata Wonders: Memoirs of a Partisan Journalist.
The books were authored by veteran journalist, Ike Abonyi.
Speaking during the event, Obi also tasked journalists with deep knowledge of Nigeria politics, to write more for people to read and understand the nature of Nigeria’s political space.

The former Anambra state governor said, “We are working hard to build that new Nigeria where we are going to have political parties that will outlive us, that is organised, that will be bigger than the government.
“Because, as it is narrated here, we now have a situation where those of us who are opportune to be in government, have helped to ruin the parties.
“Let’s hope that one day, we will have parties that are bigger than government, that will run the way parties are run in other nations of the world and will be law-abiding
“I thank those who are writing and let us remain committed to building that new Nigeria.”
