2023 Election: It Is Not Your Turn – Peter Obi Slams Bola Tinubu

According to Mr. Peter Obi, religion or ethnicity should not be used by Nigerians to choose their next leader but rather, the people of the country should consider character, trust, and competence.

He promised that the party will continue to do such retreats to monitor and evaluate actions.

In his words, “We will do this retreat now, after the election we will do another one, the election next year will not be based on ethnicity, we have had it before, it would not be on religion.

“There is no place that Christians buy things cheaper, there is no place that Muslims buy things cheaper. It will not be by my turn, it is nobody’s turn. It must not be by connection. The election next year must be based on character and trust, it must be based on competence.”

No Money Was Missing Under My Watch As Governor

Mr Obi added that there is a need for leaders to fight and be seen to be fighting corruption. He added that during his time as the Anambra State Governor, no money was missing.

He said, “If a leader is not stealing, and the family around him are not stealing we will reduce corruption by 70 percent. I was Governor for eight years, there is nowhere money is missing.

“I am in this retreat to listen, let us put it in writing when we succeed, you must be around to say this is what we have agreed on. Even if we don’t achieve 100 percent, we must have made sacrifices.”
