The Labor Party presidential candidate has urged supporters to vote for humans and not brooms in the forthcoming general elections.
The former Anambra State Governor said this during his Presidential Campaign rally at Tafawa Balewa Stadium in Lagos State.
Obi emphasized that people had voted “brooms and Umbrellas” in the past but they didn’t work. Now he urged his supporters to vote “human beings.”
Without much explanation, Peter Obi was obviously taking about the All Progressive Congress (APC) whose party logo is broom, and People’s Democratic party (PDP) whose party symbol is Umbrella.
He said that PDP has put Nigerians into poverty while broom took them to poverty.
Speaking further, Obi said, “You voted for broom, it didn’t work, you voted for umbrella, it didn’t work, we now want you to vote for human beings.”

The PUNCH had reported that the National Bureau of Statistics disclosed in November 2022 that 133 million Nigerians were multidimensionally poor.
In its National Multidimensional Poverty Index Report, the NBS said that 63 per cent of Nigerians were poor due to a lack of access to health, education, and living standards, alongside unemployment and shocks.
