Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate for 2023, stated that none of the other candidates vying to be Nigeria’s president comes from a background like his.
The former Governor of Anambra State emphasized his dedication to building a better Nigeria and affirmed that he has the qualities needed to lead the nation.
Obi made these remarks during an interview with Arise Television on Monday.
Drawing on his experience in both business and politics, the ex-governor asserted that he possesses a broader range of expertise than any other presidential contender in the country.
“Let me assure you, I’m committed to personal Nigeria, and I have what it takes. I have the experience of all those who want to be president today. Nobody have my background. I built a business from this country. I’ve operated in the corporate world, and I’ve been a governor…I transformed the smallest bank into a N25 billion bank,” he said.
Obi also said he saved money for the Government of Anambra State, adding that since he left office, he has not been receiving pensions or gratuity from the state government.

“I’ve been here, governor, where I told you the day I left I was not owing anybody, and I think I’m the one who saved most money, and in all this Anambra State, nobody, since I left office, no pension, no gratuity, nothing. I’ve not been not giving a bottle of water.”
To reinforce his claim, Obi stated that any land allegedly allocated to him by the Government of Anambra State should be seized.
