The Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has said that his government if elected in 2023 will not probe past administrations, adding "those who only look at yesterday and today will miss tomorrow.´

The former governor of Anambra State, who stated this while fielding questions from journalists shortly after unveiling Senator Datti Baba-Ahmed as his running mate, said that instead of chasing thieves, his government would rather block leakages in the system and move forward.

According to him, “As for probing the past government, let me tell you; you see me argue that you can’t close your shop and be chasing thieves, those who only look at yesterday and today will miss tomorrow. God did not give us eyes at the back, mine is to look forward.

“If you come into the government today and decide to stop the leakage first, you will get more. I am not going to be part of any form of victimisation or witch-hunt, it won’t happen. Nigerians must live within law and order.

“But I can tell you right away. If you, the principal person, the local government chairman, the governor or the President are not stealing, your family is not, and those around you are not, you will reduce it by 70 per cent.”

Wat if the thief carted away all your goods and run...will u rather stay with an empty shop or pursue the thief?
It will be wiser for me to close an empty shop and pursue the thief...at least if I can get all...I will get some to sell...half bread is better than....

Nice! But remember the failed government might have stolen and borrowed enough funds to run down the incoming government, whence your government will run out of fund. Think twice.

four year will not even be enough, but we will have a way out.

MUMU are there no other arms of governments and parastatals to help u with the trials? How can someone be so dumb?

Igbos will tell you to wait while they go get the product from someone else who has.

That's why they are better in business

If your shop is empty, you have no shop to open.

Yoruba will tell you that product isn't sold anywhere in that area cos they don't want others to gain cos they don't have it in stock.

He is right. Stop leakages and you fix the problem. If he focuses on chasing thieves he will not have time and ability to stop leakages. If he catches the thief of the last 10 admins, the next pres will be chasing the thief during his own.
