Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, on Saturday in Osun called on Nigerians to vote for him and effectively vote out the PDP and APC.
Mr Obi stated this at his presidential campaign rally in Osogbo, Osun State capital.
The former governor of Anambra State, who has since last year been besieged about how he would defeat the APC and PDP with political structures across Nigeria, urged the electorate to join him and “destroy these structures.”
Obi also said ethnicity and religion should not be considered by the voters in the next month’s poll.
He added that he and his running mate, Datti Baba-Ahmed, had been successful businessmen before going into public administration.

He said, “Nigerians are hungry, youths have no job. It is not safe to travel anywhere in Nigeria today. All these challenges are caused by those who say they have party structures. But these structures have crippled Nigeria. I want me and you to destroy these structures by voting them out next month.
“We are going to secure and unite Nigeria. We want Nigerians to be proud of being Nigerians. We will deliver a secured Nigeria. We don’t want Nigerians to be in the IDP camp, we don’t want you to be a slave in your own country.
“We are going to govern this country with fear of God. We will give you jobs. We will change Nigeria from consuming country to producing country. These people kept on bragging that they have structures. Yet, they are not doing anything. They are not producing anything in this state, youths are unemployed, we will change these challenges.”
