“I Will Invest Heavily in Education and Ensure Every Ward Has Functional Healthcare” — Peter Obi "This statement I'm making here, take it to the bank. I will invest so much in education because the more educated a country is, the more it develops. In four years, people will see a measurable difference. I will make sure every single ward in Nigeria has functional healthcare. People planning to rig the election next year should get ready because it won't be like before. If I win the presidential election, I won't tolerate electoral rigging. Anybody involved will be sent to prison through the law." — NDC presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi, speaking at the ongoing town hall meeting in Kogi State.

“Tinubu Has Made History as the President Who Produced the Highest Number of Poor People” — Peter Obi The NDC presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi, has criticised President Bola Tinubu over the country’s rising poverty, questioning what Nigerians have gained from the billions of naira borrowed by the government. Speaking tonight at the ongoing NDC inauguration, Obi also criticised Tinubu’s recent campaign in Kaduna State, accusing the President of blaming opposition candidates instead of explaining his administration’s achievements. Obi further said that he and his running mate, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, would focus on solving Nigeria’s problems rather than blaming others. “We are not going to blame anybody. We are not being hired to blame anyone. We are being hired to solve problems,” Obi said.
