Tuesday, September 8, 2026 -The presidential candidate of the Nigerian Democratic Congress, NDC, Peter Obi, has responded to Datti Baba-Ahmed’s claim that he cannot improve Nigeria if elected president.
Baba-Ahmed had stated that none of the leading candidates
for the 2027 presidential election could fix Nigeria, including his former
principal, Obi.
Speaking on Arise News, Obi said his record as governor of
Anambra State showed that he could improve the country if elected president.
“As a governor, I was able to improve Anambra State in
critical areas of development, and I can do the same in Nigeria. I’m definitely
sure that if given the opportunity, first, I’ll bring civility in governance.
I’ll be able to cut the cost of governance.
“I’ll be able to do quite a number of things that will bring
honour and respect to the country.
“You know I fight corruption and issues of waste. I’ve dealt
with issues of law and order.
“Of course, what we’re talking about, rigging elections,
cannot take place under my watch. The parties will function as parties. Things
will be done properly. There are quite a number of things that can be done here
properly, and we will focus on our priorities.
“One, to unite the country. The country is not united today.
Two, to secure the country. Three, to ensure that we prioritise critical areas
of development, health, education and pulling people out of poverty,” he said.
