Ojajuni spoke to journalists in Jos on Wednesday, on the sidelines of a two-day training for various Labour Party presidential candidate support groups held at the Ebomi Towers in Jos, Plateau State’s capital.
Ojajuni said, “Afenifere is here to partner with CBBN in terms of how to strategise in the forthcoming election for the victory of his excellency, Mr Peter Obi who is the presidential candidate of the Labour Party.
“Our target in Afenifere is to generate five million votes for him. We are doing this through voter education and reaching out to the people to see the need for a new Nigeria which everybody is clamouring for.”
Isa El-Buba, the coalition group’s convener, stated that Nigeria had suffered for so long as a result of poor leadership.
According to him, the training, which drew participants from various states, was designed to help the Labour Party reach every electorate in the country during the upcoming election.
He stated that the 2023 elections are the country’s last chance to save itself and return it to the path of progress and development like other developed countries around the globe.
El-Buba, who described Obi as the only presidential candidate with the ability to redeem the country, urged voters to support Obi in order for him to achieve his goals.
“Nigeria cannot afford to be under Tinubu or Atiku’s presidency because for the past 62 years, we have not enjoyed good leadership. Nigeria is ready to put a stop to that.
“No amount of their money (Tinubu and Atiku) will help them this time around because Nigerians are wiser. Their mountains will crumble and the seed of Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate will overtake them.

“We must get the 40 million votes to target to push the Labour Party presidential candidate into victory during forthcoming election” El-Buba charged the participants.
