The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi has urged the Nigerian people to reject moneybag politicians in the February 25 election.
“Moneybags have played a lot of roles but they brought us to poverty,” Obi said during a campaign in Ekiti State on Thursday.
The LP presidential candidate spoke during a programme when asked to respond to comments by legal luminary, Afe Babalola who said the highest spender and not the best among the candidates will win the presidential election.
However, Obi said it is time Nigerians rejected moneybags to elect quality leaders who will bring about the desired change in the country.
“It is time to reject them (moneybags). I am pleading for Nigerians to reject them because they cannot continue. If they continue, we are going to be impoverished,” Obi said
