Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has encouraged Nigerian nurses looking for better opportunities abroad to pursue their goals.

The former Governor of Anambra State stated this while addressing students of the College of Nursing Sciences in Adazi-Nnukwu over the weekend.

“I have always told the Nursing Council not to restrict you people from travelling abroad after graduation. If it is not going to work for you here, go to where it will work for you.

We will not advise anyone to stay where it is difficult for them. If you want to seek greener pastures outside, please go. I’m sure that when we build a greater Nigeria, you will come back.

My PA, Michael-Jude who was here with me the last time I came here has travelled abroad. He got married to a nurse, and the UK government granted his wife and her husband all rights to study, and he is now in UK. As I am now, I am looking for a new PA,” he said.

The Oluwo of Iwoland, Oba Abdulrosheed Adewale Akanbi, says the present economic hardship faced by Nigerians required divine intervention.

The monarch stated this on Saturday, November 9, during the celebration of the fourth annual “Odun Olodunmare” in his palace, in Iwo.

According to him, “What Nigerians need at this time, was to go back to God and ask for forgiveness and wisdom to solve the various economic challenges facing the country.

When things are going like this, we should take everybody back to God, just as I am doing today.

So that, if there is any sin of being an ingrate or ungrateful to God, then he can forgive us.

We need God’s intervention and all of us need to go back to this one God, who will give us the wisdom so that all these curses will be removed from our heads.”
