I have never been desperate in the pursuit of power, or anything else, for that matter. There are some traits associated with desperation, which in no way are in any of my political behaviors in the past and now, like engaging in overly aggressive rhetoric or actions to prove a point of appearing paranoid.

Throughout my political journey, I have never been involved in thuggery, the snatching of ballot boxes, or any form of electoral malpractice. I challenge anyone: conduct your investigations.

Ask those who have contested against me- none were ever denied their rights, framed or falsely accused. None was asked to place their advert materials or break the bank to do so. I believe in fair competition, not manufactured victories.

Furthermore, he stated that;

In four years, we can confront corruption head-on, redirecting resources to priority areas. For instance, the trillions used to acquire new presidential jets and other unnecessary expenses at this time could have been channeled into education, health care and infrastructure.

Within the same period, we ensure that the rule is sacrosanct, and the rule of law is strictly followed. Within the same period, we can conduct free, fair and credible elections.

Leadership to me is not about entitlement. It is about service. If given the mandate, for just one term, I will dedicate every moment to build a Nigeria that works for all.”

Peter Obi’s vision for Nigeria is clear. He sees leadership as a service, not an entitlement. If given the mandate for just one term, he vows to dedicate every moment to building a Nigeria that works for all.
