Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has congratulated the UK Labour Party on their landslide victory in the recent general election.
Obi, in a statement on his social media handle, expressed his hope for stronger ties between the UK and Nigeria, particularly in addressing insecurity, education, healthcare, and poverty.
Obi said, “I sincerely congratulate @Keir_Starmer and the Labour Party UK on the landslide victory they recorded in Thursday’s election. May the victory translate to a better and new chapter for all UK residents as you remain committed to your electoral promises.”
He added, “I also hope that your government will promote stronger ties between the UK and Nigeria and help in deepening our own democracy, especially during the challenging times that our nation is going through.”
Obi emphasized the potential benefits of UK support in addressing Nigeria’s challenges, stating, “Nigeria is grappling with issues such as insecurity, education, healthcare, and poverty and could greatly benefit from the support of the UK. Let us work together to build a brighter future for the Commonwealth. I wish you a successful tenure.”
