Mr. Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s nominee for president, declared that if chosen to lead Nigeria in the upcoming presidential election, he will be dedicated to the development of the nation.
He also promised to manage public monies wisely while in power and to never steal from the government.
Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the APC’s presidential candidate, had already characterized Obi as a stingy man who could not be trusted with the nation’s destiny.

But Obi asserted that a miser like him would be safer for the nation.
Speaking in Akure, the Ondo State capital, on Saturday during his campaign rally, Obi said he would be able to invest in education, health, economy and other sectors to develop the country.
He said;
Yes they said l am stingy, but we are not out to steal the nation’s wealth. All we want to do is to use the nation’s money for our people and development of this country
They said that I’m stingy; we want stingy people now, so that we can keep the money. We want to make sure we use your money to transform the country.
This election that is coming now, don’t vote for anybody because of tribe but vote for someone that will move the country forward.
We don’t want anybody to say that it is my turn; we want to change Nigeria for better. Our children will be in school, we don’t want people to run out of Nigeria again. We want to structure Nigeria for development. So, go and pick your PVCs and vote for Labour Party and make sure that they count the vote.
