The former governor of Anambra State told Nigerians that they should vote in the upcoming presidential election regardless of their race or religion.
Peter Obi, the presidential candidate for the Labour Party (LP), has told Nigerians that they should vote against corrupt politicians on February 25.
During a campaign in Ekiti State on Thursday, Obi remarked, “Moneybags have played a lot of roles, but they brought us to poverty.”
In an exclusive interview with Channels Television, the LP presidential candidate was asked about Afe Babalola’s comments that the best candidate would not win the presidency, but the one who spent the most on their campaign would.

Obi, on the other hand, said that it was time for Nigerians to stop voting for moneybags and instead choose leaders who are smart and can make the changes the country needs.
“It’s time to disregard them” (Moneybags). They can’t go on, so I’m begging Nigerians to reject them. Obi warned that if they keep doing this, we will become poor.
The former governor of Anambra State told Nigerians that they should vote in the upcoming presidential election regardless of their race or religion.
Obi asserted that he is the most qualified of the 18 contenders vying for the top position at Aso Rock and pledged to give young people jobs.
Elder statesmen like former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Edwin Clark, the head of the Pan Niger Delta Forum, and nonagenarian Ayo Adebanjo, the leader of the pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation Afenifere, have recently endorsed Obi.
Obi is well-liked by young people who long for real national change, and recent pre-election polls have consistently placed him ahead of other contenders. However, only time will tell who will win the election on February 25.
