Peter Obi Advocates for Productive Leadership in Nigeria

Peter Obi, the presidential candidate for the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), addressed supporters during a town hall meeting in the United Kingdom. He acknowledged that he is not a saint but emphasized his unique achievement of saving money during his tenure as the governor of Anambra State, claiming no other governor has done so.

Obi urged Nigerians to vote for candidates with a proven record of productivity, lamenting the increasing hardship in Nigeria. He advised Nigerians in the diaspora to discourage their relatives at home from supporting unproductive candidates.

Obi stressed the importance of electing less corrupt leaders to initiate change in Nigeria, stating, “Let’s start with this one that is less corrupt.” He called for a collective effort to build a New Nigeria focused on tackling corruption and electing competent leaders characterized by capacity, character, compassion, and commitment.
