Nigeria Deserves No Help from Any Country, Says Peter Obi

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 general election, Mr. Peter Obi, has regretted the economic hardship facing Nigeria, stating the country deserves no help from other countries, including Ukraine.

Mr. Peter Obi stated this on Tuesday, March 5th while speaking at a Leadership Newspaper Award where he bagged the “Leadership Politician of the Year 2023” Award.

He stated that Ukraine has no reason to give Nigeria grains, claiming that Nigeria has more landmarks that are more arable than Ukraine.

Speaking at the award reception, Mr. Peter Obi said “I am not desperate to be president, I am desperate to make Nigeria work.”

“We have no reasons to be poor. Poverty should never be part of our lives, especially in the North; with over 7,442,000 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 meters 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,” Obi stated.

He also claimed that Obi stated that the only way to eradicate poverty in Nigeria is to productively engage the young Nigerians.
