Peter Obi has responded to the controversy over his remarks to Nigerians abroad, saying he was calling for a country where people can meet their needs without depending on relatives overseas.
In a statement on Tuesday, October 20, reported by PUNCH, the former Anambra governor acknowledged the sacrifices Nigerians in the diaspora make to help relatives pay for food, housing, education and healthcare.
“I never asked them to abandon their loved ones,” he said.
The clarification followed comments at a Manchester town hall where he urged Nigerians abroad to stop automatically meeting financial demands from home and press for better leadership.
Obi accused political opponents of misrepresenting his message. He said the goal should be jobs, accessible healthcare, good education and opportunities that allow Nigerians to support themselves.
