2023: Peter Obi suspends campaign, gives reason

Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party for the 2023 election on Wednesday said he has “stopped” his campaign due to the recent flooding in Nigeria that has become an overwhelming disaster.

Obi made the announcement when he paid a courtesy visit to Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State.

“As you can see today, flood is ravaging the entire country. And people are dying. People are being displaced. I personally stopped and told my people no more campaign until we are able to visit some of the sites, at least sympathize with those going through problems,” Obi said.

“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.”
