In a bid to tackle Nigeria’s clean water crisis and promote investments in critical sectors, former Anambra State governor and Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate for 2023, Peter Obi, has launched a bold initiative to drill 200,000 boreholes nationwide.
Speaking at a press conference in Abuja on Wednesday, Obi emphasized the importance of addressing the nation’s pressing needs in health and education.

Highlighting the broader context of his advocacy, Obi emphasized the role of honorable Nigerians in supporting essential services for the benefit of all citizens. He called for increased funding for the health and education sectors, citing their pivotal role in driving national development and prosperity.
Amidst discussions about the leadership crisis within the Labour Party, Obi addressed the challenges facing the party and its efforts to navigate internal conflicts. He acknowledged the complexities of the political landscape, noting that while the LP faces its share of challenges, other major parties such as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) also grapple with “abnormalities.”
Obi further highlighted the ongoing audit process within the Labour Party, acknowledging that it could take considerable time for the audit team to complete their assessment and submit their reports. Despite these challenges, he expressed optimism about the party’s resilience and its commitment to upholding democratic principles.
As Peter Obi continues to champion initiatives aimed at addressing critical societal issues and fostering inclusive development, his call for investment in clean water solutions and essential services resonates with the aspirations of many Nigerians. By prioritizing the needs of the people and advocating for sustainable solutions, Obi underscores the importance of proactive leadership in driving positive change and advancing the welfare of all citizens.
