Peter Obi urges Nigerians to support fight against corruption

Obi urges Nigerians to join forces in fight against corruption

By Lucy Nwachukwu

The vice presidential candidate of the Peoples' Democratic Party (PDP), Mr Peter Obi has urged Nigerians to join forces in the fight against corruption in the country.

Obi made the call in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja.

"We should look at the effect of corruption and go on to deal with it in the way itshould.

"It is important that everybody become part of those trying to stop it because it kills three things that try to make society work.

"It kills entrepreneurship, professionalism and hard work,it is not about shouting about it, but dealing with it,'' Obi said.

On the country's rating by the World Economic Forum,Obi said Nigeria could perform better with focus on the various key indicators.

"I have been a governor, and I know how to change this things. We took education from beingnumber24 to number21.

"So, you don't say you are doing it,you need to show an empirical evidence where it is done and done right, if you do the right things you get the right results, it is simple.

"We need to get it better, the rating now is not where we should be, Nigeria is too important, it is the main driver of the continent, we must get it right and all we need is good leadership,'' he said.

Ms Elsie Kanza,the Head of Africa, World Economic Forum, who also spoke to NAN,urged Nigeria and other African countries to improve on the key indicators so the continent could have higher footing.

She said: "based on the different indicators, it is important to note that Africa is still laggingbehindthe rest of the world''.

"So, it is not just Nigeria,everyone needsto improve so thatthe continent has a higherfooting.''

According to Kanza, infrastructure remains one of the key areas that need improvement on the continent.

She said with sufficient investments in the country, the infrastructure gap would he filled, adding that human capital was another area that needed attention.

"The level of education and the ability to have skills thatmatch what industry needs today as well as tomorrow in the contest of fourth industrial revolution is an area where Africa is lagging far behind.

"We need the private sectorto step up and play an active role and also engage with the academia, and training institutions and citizens themselves to support government efforts.

"We are also lagging behind in terms of technology adoption.

"Only about 20 per cent of Africans are connected to the digital economy, and this is also an areawhich we are lagging behind and that affects competitiveness.

"Technology improves productivity and the reportsfocus on how to improve productivity,'' Kanza said.

Daviddson:
Peter Obi can stand head to head with Prof Osinbajo. He's no doubt someone who knows his onions. At least, his antecedents as governor speak loud for him. I can vouch for this man that he can make a good president with a steel will to fight corruption more than Buhari thinks he's doing.

Opyz:
Okay, we have heard.

Kindly start your corruption fight with Atiku before he decide to wire our money to Jennifer again. Bunch of thieves!

seanfer:

Osyabj:

Dutchbraht:

You forgot he built the biggest mall in Abuja with looted funds.

WetinConsignMe:


OK, how come u never see his name mentioned among the corrupt but always among the least corrupt? Answer the question

WetinConsignMe:


At least Atiku picked a decent man. He could have picked, say, Saraki!!

Opyz:
Of what difference is that? When the head is obviously bad, of what importance is the rest of the body? It doesn't change the fact that Atiku is his boss; a fantastically corrupt vagabond, and is not worthy of the highest leadership position of this great country.

Let Obi start the preaching with his supposed boss rather than using the mantra to deceive NOBLE Nigerians.

Dutchbraht:

Atiku is one the greatest thieves along with Peter Obi the country has produced.

Dutchbraht:

Every Nigerian politician is a crook. Least corrupt based on what. Was there transparency during his tenure. Was there open bidding and tender of contracts?And why did he corner local government funds by refusing to conduct elections. He is your typical useless corrupt Nigerian politician

WetinConsignMe:


Atiku WAS not is. Obi is about in the same league as Akunyili of blessed memory

Dutchbraht:

Peter Obi is a crook in the same league with Atiku. He cornered local government funds during his tenure by refusing to conduct elections during his two terms. Built the biggest mall in Abuja with looted funds at a time his company was closed for not paying tax of N20 million naira.

Dutchbraht:

Atiku is one the greatest thieves along with Peter Obi the country has produced.

Opyz:
Never again do we allow a vagabond like Atiku to rule this country again.

We all know how desperate this man has ever been. He has played smartness on all his bosses just to usurp their positions. He is so desperate that he spent everything possible to bribe into the hearts of the delegates, and some people can't still read between the lines. These cohorts have already shared the dividends of our great country (economic prowness) among his goons.

WetinConsignMe:


Stop lying. He was rich long b4 he became gov
yet he still retained the common touch. That's why Nigerians love him

WetinConsignMe:


There is such a thing as a reformed person. Picking Obi is among the mounting evidence that in Atiku we have a reformed and very capable person

MYHUBBY:
all politicians are thieves I don't believe any of their words. obi should swear if he don't enrich himself from Anambra govt pocket



they will turn to public speaker when election is near. no matter how they paint themselves we won't end up in the hand of smart thieves


Buhari/osibanjo is the only way

WetinConsignMe:


Atiku is an entrepreneur extraordinaire, which is how he made his riches. He will be a fresh breath and will revive our national optimism

Opyz:
Ok, I have heard you.

If that's truly the motive, let Atiku apologize to Nigerians and tell us how he siphoned over US$600m despite being a vice president under the stealing is not corruption mantra. Intels makes over US$1bn in turnover, let Atiku tell us why and how Intels never paid taxes for over a decade.

Let Atiku tell us his role in over US$200m Malabu oil deal and equally tell us why he wired US$40m to his wife, Jennifer for money laundering. Moreover, he should tell us why he was declared wanted in the US for corrupt practices. Once he's done doing all these, he should take the next flight to the US. When is back, then we would start taking him serious.

It's so pathetic how this same man has poisoned the hearts of some Nigerians and make them believe that he's their Messiah. Nonsense!
