God punish me, my children if I steal Nigeria’s money–Obi

Labour Party candidate for the 2023 presidential elections Peter Obi, said that he is too rich to steal public money and would do no such thing if elected President.
Obi who was addressing a group of his supporters in the USA said in video gathering steam on social media that he was even richer than the President of the United States.
“If I take public money that I’m not entitled to, God should punish my children and me, not because of anything but God gave me enough.
“I say to people, President Biden is worth 8.9 million USD. Why should somebody like me steal public money when I am richer than the American President? I am already over-blessed by God. We just need to develop our country.
“I’m not looking for a private jet, sophisticated house or to buy a house in America because I can’t live in America.
“What we are doing is not about the normal politics or contesting elections.”
Meanwhile the Peter Obi Support Network has urged the Independent National Electoral Commission to investigate dumping of Permanent Voter Cards in in Lagos and Port Harcourt.
The group said in a letter to INEC that PVC of eligible voters have been found in dump sites and in gutters in Lagos and Port Harcourt.
“In the last few weeks, various disturbing viral videos on social media platforms, notably Facebook and Twitter, showed thousands of PVCs of eligible Nigerians being exhumed from gutters and refuse dumps in major cities like Lagos and Port Harcourt, Rivers State on a daily basis, showing the names, pictures and other confidential information of owners of the mutilated cards.
“We find such disturbing viral videos extremely worrying and politically demotivating, taking into cognisance the arduous rigorous process the average Nigerian faces in an attempt to comply with the registration demands prescribed by your agency, only to be flushed away, mutilated and destroyed in such a wicked, callous and dehumanizing manner by supposed staff working under your office for whatever selfish motives that may have actuated their horrible actions.”
