Akure, Jan. 15, 2023 – Peter Obi, the Presidential Candidate of Labour Party, says he will be prudent in the management of public funds as a stingy man if elected.
He promised that he would not steal public funds while in office.
Bola Tinubu, the APC Presidential Candidate, had earlier described Obi as a stingy man who could not be trusted with the future of the country.
Responding, Obi said that the country would rather be safer in the hands of a stingy man like him.
Speaking in Akure, the Ondo State capital, on Saturday during his campaign rally, Obi said he would invest wisely on priority sectors of the country like education, health, economy and others.
“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.
Mr Julius Abure, the National Chairman of Labour Party, expressed regret that the nation was still at crossroads and all sectors were not working.
He promised that the Labour Party would make Nigeria work. (GBN)
