Nigerians must say enough to hunger, poverty — Peter Obi

Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), emphasized that the responsibility for ensuring credible elections in Nigeria lies with the Nigerian people rather than solely on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Speaking after attending the funeral of the late Simon Okorie Abaa, father of NDC senatorial candidate Linus Okorie, Obi highlighted his long-standing collaboration with Okorie, including their previous work in the Labour Party. He expressed concern over the deteriorating economic conditions in Nigeria, noting the rising levels of poverty and hunger, which he argued were evident even without relying on external reports. Obi criticized the current trajectory of the nation, warning that continuing on this path would be unsustainable and urging Nigerians to resist further hardship and demand change.
