Peter Obi Promises Anti-Corruption Focus in Campaign

Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), has committed to an uncompromising fight against corruption and to ensure transparent management of public resources. He stated that measurable improvements in governance would begin from the first day of an NDC administration.

Obi, who is contesting the January 16, 2027 presidential election with former Kano State governor Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso as his running mate, made these declarations at a dinner in Abuja to inaugurate the party’s National Presidential Campaign Council. He emphasized the need for problem-solving and accountability in governance, criticizing President Bola Tinubu’s administration for failing to convert increased revenues into better living conditions for Nigerians.

Obi vowed to prioritize emergency interventions in security, agriculture, education, healthcare, and electricity. He asserted that public officials must be held accountable for corruption and demanded greater transparency in public expenditure, particularly regarding the management of government revenues and borrowed funds.
