Former Anambra State governor and Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has described politicians as a major problem facing Nigeria, while calling on Nigerians to pray for the country’s leaders.
Obi made the remarks while speaking about the state of governance in Nigeria and the management of public resources.
According to him, the country has enough resources to provide a better standard of living for its citizens, but the way public funds are managed remains a major concern.
He urged Nigerians to continue praying for those in positions of authority, expressing hope that political leaders would use the resources entrusted to them for the benefit of the people rather than for personal interests.
Obi’s comments have generated reactions, particularly amid ongoing public debates over governance, accountability and the management of Nigeria’s resources.
