Peter Obi Advocates for Boy Child Welfare in Nigeria

Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party for the 2023 general elections, raised significant concerns about the welfare of boy children in Nigeria. In a post shared on International Day of the Boy Child, Obi cited insecurity, poverty, and poor investment in education and healthcare as major threats to the future of these children.

He referenced a quote from the late former South African President Nelson Mandela, emphasizing that a society's soul is reflected in how it treats its children. Obi noted that children are often seen as the leaders of tomorrow, but their future is jeopardized without adequate protection and investment.

He urged for greater investment in children, warning against neglect and abuse, which could have long-term repercussions for society. Obi encouraged boys not to lose hope and to embrace global opportunities, stating that every boy child should be empowered to build a better nation.

He emphasized the importance of providing sound education and mentorship to help them realize their dreams.
