I Must Be Nigeria’s President, Am Not Running Away – Peter Obi Declares

The Presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the recently 2023 election, Mr Peter Obi, has insisted that he will not desert Nigeria for any other country, adding that he must be Nigeria’s president no matter how long it takes.

“Anyone who thinks I am on a transit is wasting his time. Let me tell you, I must be the president of this country. I am sure of that. If it is not today, it must be tomorrow”.

“Other people who want to be (president) should come and tell us what they want to do, and how to do it. This is my country, I don’t have dual citizenship. If anyone thinks I am going to run away from Nigeria, they are lying” Obi declared during the unveiling of a book titled “Peter Obi: Many Voices, One Perspective” in Awka, Anambra state.

He stood his ground on getting things right through the right process which is why he is challenging the 2023 presidential election election in a law court.

He added;

“For three years, I was in court in Anambra to reclaim my mandate, just to challenge the process.

“Many people tried to discourage me, but I said even if the entire four-year tenure elapsed for us to prove a point and correct the process, I will be fulfilled”.

“My argument is that, let’s do what is right. I always tell everyone that I will not give people money to do the wrong thing. I have been the chairman of a committee; TETFUND committee, and Prof. Yakubu Mahmud was my member. We know one another, but when he became INEC chairman, I have never met him. I told him, you are an umpire, just do what is right.

“If you have the chance to do the right thing and you insist on perpetuating anarchy, then, it will consume everybody one day. I insist that we must do the right thing.”
