Peter Obi Urges UK Nigerians to Stop Sending Money Home

Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, addressed Nigerians residing in the United Kingdom during a town hall meeting in Manchester. He advised them to reject requests for financial assistance from relatives in Nigeria, arguing that such support only alleviates the effects of poor governance without tackling the underlying issues.

Obi attributed Nigeria's economic hardships to bad leadership and stressed the importance of urging family members to vote for productive leaders in the upcoming elections. He highlighted his achievements as the former governor of Anambra State, claiming that no other governor has saved as much public funds as he did.

Obi called for collective responsibility among citizens to build a new Nigeria and emphasized the significance of the 2027 election as a critical moment for the nation.
