The Nigeria Democratic Congress presidential candidate Peter Obi has said his political ambition is driven not by a desire to occupy Nigeria’s highest office, but by his determination to see the country work for its citizens.
The former Labour Party presidential candidate spoke during an interview on the Nevon HQ podcast hosted by journalist and media personality Rufai Oseni.
Obi said he is more concerned about fixing Nigeria’s challenges than pursuing power for his own sake.
“I am not desperate to be president of Nigeria. I am desperate to see Nigeria work,” Obi said.
The former Anambra State governor lamented the economic hardship facing many Nigerians, particularly young people, noting that millions are struggling to find sustainable livelihoods.
