Obi Replies Tinubu, ‘Yes’ I’m Stingy, But I Won’t Steal Nation’s Wealth
The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi, said he would be committed to the development of the country if elected as the president of Nigeria in the forthcoming presidential election.
He also pledged to be prudent in the management of public funds while in the office, saying he would not steal public funds.
The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, had earlier described Obi as a stingy man who could not be trusted with the future of the country.
But Obi said the country would 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 be able to invest in education, health, economy and other sectors to develop the country.
He said “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”.
