Mr Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 presidential elections, Friday, urged the newly elected British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, to forge stronger ties with Nigeria.
Obi, former governor of Anambra State, disclosed this via his social media platform.
.He wrote, “I sincerely congratulate Keir Starmer, and the Labour Party UK on the landslide victory they recorded in Thursday’s election. May the victory translate to a better and new chapter for all the UK residents as you remain committed to your electoral promises.
“I also hope that your government will promote stronger ties between the UK and Nigeria, and help in deepening our own democracy, especially during the challenging times that our nation is going through.
“Nigeria is grappling with issues such as insecurity, education, healthcare, and poverty, and could greatly benefit from the support of the UK. Let us work together to build a brighter future commonwealth for all. I wish you a successful tenure.”
