In a statement to the press in Abuja, Peter Obi, the presidential candidate for the Labour Party, emphasized that his ultimate goal is not personal ambition but to improve the lives of disadvantaged Nigerians.
Obi also expressed concern that many individuals avoid addressing the important challenges facing Nigeria today.
As a former governor of Anambra State, he conveyed his commitment to discussing and finding solutions to these pressing issues.
“We live in a system where public office holders and politicians are only seen during elections. I can tell you that it is an everyday job. I have said it several times that I am not desperate to become the president of Nigeria. But I am desperate to see the poor and less privileged Nigerians being pulled out of their difficult situation daily.
“That is what I am desperate to see. And all of us can do it as well. You can’t even be happy or fulfilled when several million (Nigerians) don’t know where the next meal will come from”.
