Former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi, has called upon the youth to remain steadfast and not lose hope in Nigeria despite the current challenges.
The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party spoke on Sunday during the Social Media Fest (SMFest) held in Owerri, Imo State.
Naija News reports that SMFest serves as a platform designed to educate participants on how to harness the potential of technology, social media, and innovation to enhance their businesses, brands, and initiatives, offering valuable ideas, exposure, and insights that enable individuals and organizations to capitalize on the benefits of digitalization fully.
In his address, Obi acknowledged the challenging circumstances facing Nigeria but urged the youth to exercise patience and resilience, emphasizing that success is achieved by those who persevere, even in difficult times.
“Yes, Nigeria is challenging right now, but those of us who are older are finding strength in the passion of the younger generation.
“And we say don’t give up! Whether it’s in business, skills development, education, or politics, don’t give up!
“Life will throw obstacles your way, but stand firm. If you need to, step back, rethink your strategy, evolve, and come back stronger,” Obi shared via his official X handle on Sunday.
