Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, has called out Nigerians who were quick to protest the state of the nation during the Goodluck Jonathan administration but are now mute amid the worsening economic hardship.

He stated that when fuel was increased from N87 to N120, people came out en masse to protest, but now that it is N1500, they have nothing to say about it.

While speaking at the night of tribute for late Niger Delta leader, Pa Edwin Clarke, Obi said;

‘’I listened to my brother MIke when he said ‘May the labors of our heroes past not be in vain’. I am happy that General Gowon and Jonathan are here . I can tell you that there sacrifice is in vain. They have sacrificed for nothing. We were in this country when people were protesting when there was no need to under Jonathan. Where are those protesters? Have they d!ed? Where are they? So why are we saying it should not be in vain?

Jonathan increased fuel from N87  to N120 and people were protesting in this country and when it was N900, they were not protesting. Are they de@d? So why are we saying it should not be in vain? People protested when $1 was N180 and when it is now N1500, they are not protesting. Are they de@d?

Let's face reality, there labor is in vain.

We have a country now that is not democratic. Let us tell ourselves the truth. It is vain so that can start picking the piece of the things people have sacrificed for''
