The presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in the 2027 presidential election, Peter Obi, has stated that politicians are the core problem facing Nigeria.
Obi was acknowledged in the congregation by the leader of Koinonia Global and Eternity Network International, Apostle Joshua Selman, during Sunday’s worship session.
Selman invited him to share a few words.
Taken aback by the recognition, Obi remarked, “I don’t know what to say, but people are here for different reasons.
“We are all here for prayers, but pray for us politicians to stop stealing,” Obi stated during the church service which was broadcast live on YouTube.
According to Obi, “Politicians are the problem of the country. There is nothing wrong with the country, but the politicians are the issue,” he reiterated.
He further urged, “Pray for us politicians. Let God touch us to cease stealing. Do not say one is good and another is bad. We (politicians) are the problem of the country.”
Reflecting on the progress of other nations that began alongside Nigeria but have since advanced, Obi advised Nigerians to read the book “Growing Apart,” emphasising that he has witnessed how other countries have flourished.
“I’ve seen things work in other countries. People should refrain from embezzling public funds. If we do the right thing, things will improve,” Obi concluded.
