Presidential aspirant on the platform of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Peter Obi, has said he is not desperate to be president bur desperate to make Nigeria work.

The two-time governor of Anambra State and vice presidential candidate of the PDP in 2019 stated this, yesterday, when he paid a courtesy visit to Governor Douye Diri at the Bayelsa State Government House in Yenagoa.

Obi said Nigeria was a great country with untapped potential, noting that he was desperate to move the nation away from a consumption economy to a productive one.

He stressed that Nigeria was not working because of its unproductive state, which, he said, was unacceptable to the nation’s young, intelligent and smart population.


Obi asserted that if elected Nigeria’s president, he would end the current oil revenue sharing formula and introduce a production formula, particularly in agriculture and ICT.

He said the $18bn Nigeria oil monthly income could not be compared to Facebook or Twitter, which was just sold for $44bn.

“I am aspiring to lead this country. For me, it is not a desperate aspiration but I am desperate to see Nigeria work.

“This is a great country and I have a simple thing to do. I want to move it from consumption to a productive country. It is not working because it is not a productive country,” he said.

In his remarks, Diri said Obi proved his worth, while he served as governor of Anambra, especially when he saved and handed over N75bn to his successor.

Diri said Nigeria needed well-equipped and knowledgeable people like Obi to rescue the country from those who have failed to fix it.

Lol you don’t have to become a president to make an impact brother man

The Lee Kuan Yew of Nigeria.

Only you can take our Great Country to the same heights if not bigger as Lee did for Singapore.

Nigeria will get it right, Nigerians are tired of playing ethnic religious politics with nothing to show.

Nigerians will vote for Peter Obi in 2023 as President of the FRN.

Desperation is desperation.
Obi should stop deceiving himself

LeoDeking is a pig

Someone should tell Peter Obi the truth.


It will be easier for Peter Okoye (Psquare) to become the President of Nigeria than Peter Obi.

Hommie should stop chasing shadows!

You cannot even get a PDP presidential ticket and you talking about President of Nigeria.

Dude must have done a serious number on your mind for you to COMPLETELY veer off the subject matter to type this nonsense.

That said, Pandora should stop goofing around already. Even APUGA wouldn't give him their ticket.

MAKE D BEST MAN WIN... if u know u know

Nigerian will never vote one useless desperado in 2023.

Umahi or Peter Obi for me.

The man to fix the economy. A true technocrat. Filled with ideas and values. Not one with a lifetime ambition who have nothing to offer but just wants to answer President and to waste tax payers money on medical tourism.

Obi is the man. Okwute! NKUME! Chiri ga wa!!!

I'm desperate to make Nigeria work steal Nigeria's money*

Obi sorry, your kinsmen have created more than enough enemies with people from other tribes to give you a win not even at the PDP primary election.

You will see how they will come here to attack me o.

In as much as I am not an Obi I enthusiast, I still love to see him take charge of the presidency. The only problem I have with him is his weak political structure. Nobody really knows this guy outside the Eastern and South South region.

Has this guy been to the north?

He's just moving from one southern state to the other as if he doesn't need these abok!'s votes.

PDP will lose this election because as at today, they do not have one person that can win them election.

Present a northern candidate and they'll lose massively.

The question now is who is the southern candidate that can win it? The answer is none!

APC has Osinbajo, Tinubu and Ameachi, all from the south.
Who does the PDP have? Nobody.

If you think this issue of zoning is inconsequential in this 2023 election then you are dreaming.
Power is returning south and there's nothing anyone like Atiku can do.

Even Atiku knows that this is not 2019 that people were desperate to remove Buhari. This time around, he's definitely leaving.

Interesting times ahead

We know

Give us example?

Good man

*In his remarks, Diri said Obi proved his worth, while he served as governor of Anambra, especially when he saved and handed over N75bn to his successor*

With this, he's capable but sentiment, tribalism, favoritism won't make that happen.

With the Fulani constitution.
