Peter Obi aspiring presidential candidate in the 2027 elections has asked Hausa/Fulani leaders to join in the effort by the opposition parties to vote out President Bola Tinubu.
The former Anambra State governor who was speaking to some Hausa/Fulani chiefs Wednesday in Abuja said President Tinubu’s only priority was self-preservation and not working to save the country from crime, insurgency and poverty.
He stated that a President who spends ₦360 million to buy and refit his plane but votes ₦36 million for the health sector is not worth voting for in 2027.
Obi said, “We have to talk about the future of our country. All of you know what is happening to our country today. That’s why we are campaigning that you vote out this government.
“Today, we have insecurity across Nigeria. We have hunger across Nigeria. We are suffering across Nigeria. The only thing that is working in Nigeria today is bad news. Every morning you wake up is bad news.
“We’re urging you to vote for a change and bring a new Nigeria, where our children will be in school. Our hospitals will work.
“Today, if you’re sick in Nigeria, you’re praying to Almighty God because we’re now in a country where our president spends 360 billion to buy and refit his plane and spends 36 million in capital vote for the Ministry of Health. There’s nothing working.”
