TRIBUNE
The Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi has vowed to drop his ambition for the presidency of Nigeria if anyone can prove that he or his running-mate, Datti Baba-Ahmed have corruptly gained from the government of Nigeria either at the federal or subnational level.
Peter Obi, on Monday, said this while fielding questions at the Chatham House, London, United Kingdom.
According to him, the challenges of health and power in Nigeria would be dealt with, within his administration if Nigerians gave him the mandate come February 2023, as he would declare war on electricity in the country to drive the economy.
His words: “We will fight corruption, Datti has the record of being the only national assembly member who refused to buy property of the government when it was offered to all national assembly members. You can go and look at his record, if you find anywhere he puts himself in a transactional position that he has compromised his position, I will stop running.”
He continued that what brought himself and Datti together was the desire to bring a change to Nigeria and promote good governance guided by the rule of law for all other things to fall in place.
