The 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi, clears misinterpretation from an interview he was on recently.
Speaking through his official X handle, he reiterated that he is not interested in vying for a position while Nigerians suffer and face challenges.
The former Governor of Anambra state went further in saying he is open to collaborations as far as the focus is on Nigeria’s progress.
Mr Obi said he wasn't desperate for any position because he believes he can contribute without occupying any position as he is already doing so.
“I do not want to be one of those preoccupied with 2027 while Nigerians are suffering from hunger, poverty, insecurity, and other pressing challenges.
"When I was asked about collaboration, I explicitly stated my openness to working with others, provided their intentions were not centred on state capture. I emphasized my commitment to partnering with those who share my vision for advancing Nigeria’s progress…
“As I have always maintained, I am not desperate to become president, but I am determined to see Nigeria work.
“Likewise, I am not desperate for any position at all as I believe I can make contributions as I am already doing without occupying any. When 2027 arrives, if I decide to run for any office, it will not be with those whose sole aim is state capture or merely winning an election. I want them to explain how we will ensure that no child is left behind and how we will bring millions of out-of-school children back into classrooms, ensure healthy living and pull people out of poverty…” He said.
