The Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, says he is not desperate to be president of Nigeria.
Speaking during an interview on the Nevon HQ podcast hosted by journalist and media personality Rufai Oseni, the former Anambra governor said his political ambition is driven by his determination to see the country work for its citizens.
Obi insisted he is more concerned about fixing Nigeria’s challenges rather 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.
He also lamented the economic hardship facing many Nigerians, particularly young people, noting that millions are struggling to find sustainable livelihoods.
“I am desperate to see young people have a means of livelihood. I am desperate to see people stop stealing public money. I am desperate to see Nigeria work,” he stated.
