EKO HOT BLOG reports that a former governor of Anambra and presidential aspirant for the PDP ticket in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, has advised party delegates in Imo to vote according to their conscience.
Addressing party faithful in Owerri on Thursday, Obiurged them not to mortgage their future by allowing monetary and other material things to influence their choice of candidate in the delegate election.
“Politicians will give you money during primaries, collect it and consider an aspirant who would change the country and make it better,” he said.
Peter Obi, who said he was in Imo to canvass support for his presidential ambition, vowed to move Nigeria from what he called a consuming nation to a producing nation.
He said: “When I became the governor nobody handed over to me and I operated without Government House.
“I completely started from the scratch but when I handed over I didn’t owe any contractor, pensioners, and workers a dime.
“I have achieved such feat as an individual, as a governor and I can replicate it as a president of Nigeria, if given a chance.
Peter Obi alleged “Everything that will make the country work is fastly collapsing. The country is functioning on consumption economy. The only solution to move the country forward is to have a formula for production because our country is not productive.”
The presidential hopeful urged delegates to take into consideration the future of Nigerian children and youths before making their choice.

He said a careful study of the country shows large divisions among Nigerians, promising to lead a united and secure Nigeria that would attract foreign investments.
“Today, when we wake up in Nigeria the only thing you here is killings and insecurity everywhere. There is no way you’ll not have problem when you have 35 per cent unemployment rate in the country,” Peter Obi said.
