 I’m not desperate to be President, says Peter Obi


Presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the last general elections, Mr Peter Obi, on Tuesday, insisted that he’s not desperate to be Nigeria’s President.


Obi, however, said that he only desired that the country works.


The LP flagbearer spoke in Abuja while reacting to his award as the ‘Leadership Politician of the Year 2023’ at the annual Leadership Conference and Awards.


“I am not desperate to be president, I am desperate to make Nigeria work,” Obi stated but added that young Nigerians should be productively engaged in order to eliminate poverty and crime,” Obi said.


Obi also described as shameful for Ukraine, a war-torn country, to donate grains to Nigeria when Niger State alone can feed the whole of Africa.


Obi added, “We have no reasons to be poor. Poverty should never be part of our lives especially in the North,” Obi said, adding that with over 7,442,00 square meters of land, Nigeria can feed Africa.


“Ukraine has no reason to give us grain. Niger State can feed Nigeria, Africa with over 73, 000 square meters of land.


“The two biggest states in the North-East, Borno with over 70,000 square metres of land and Taraba, are four times the size of Belgium that is exporting food. There is so much we can do in the country if we have the right leadership.


“The more you remove people out of poverty, the more you have fewer criminals.”
