Peter Obi urged Nigerians to elect credible people into leadership positions to fix the country before it gets worse, stressing that Nigeria must move from a consuming nation to a producing one.
He stressed;
“I’m warning everybody, lets fix Nigeria before it gets worse . We must fix this place now. It is not acceptable that with the huge resources God gave Nigeria, millions of Nigerians don’t know where their next meal would come.
“This is not acceptable. We must stop abusing the grace of God and use public money for the public good. All I’m begging is ,go and verify all the candidates, ask questions about what they have done.
“We cannot continue this way. This is not our country. A country where people cannot buy a loaf of bread is not our country. Our country must be productive. We must take back our country and end this poverty. In 2023, we must make a difference. We must take back our country and rebuild it.
