Peter Obi
“There is no hope in this country. I vehemently and consistently insist on not being part of sharing money even if my household will vote against me because of that.
“I have traveled all over the world and studied developments, no successful and fruitful democracy elects her leaders based on money shared. Such crude practice makes nonsense of character, leaders, and their manifestos.
“Let me give you an example with Ayamelum Local Government Area of the state. The only road infrastructure in that local government, as well as their headquarters, were built by me, for which I spent over N7bn. How would they expect me to give them N10,000 to N20,000 each to vote? Is it not absurd?”
