Peter Obi: “I’d rather be dead than disappoint those who believe in me.”

The presidential candidate for the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, has claimed he would sooner die than disappoint his fans.

At the Editors Forum, a project of the Nigerian Guild of Editors, he made this statement.

The former governor of Anambra State declared his determination to serve Nigerians and promised not to let down those who had faith in him.

I didn’t know many of them (the supporters), but I promise not to let them down, Obi remarked.

“I am determined not to fail them. I would rather die than fail them. I am going to serve them”.

He added that the majority of Nigeria’s problems may be solved with the correct leadership. Three-quarters of the country’s problems can be resolved, according to the LP presidential flagbearer, if the country is productive.

“We cannot have that number of people living in poverty and not have criminality, banditry and so on. We must remove sharing formula and replace it with the production formula.

“The hope of this country is the vast uncultivated land, not that oil we are seeing. My commitment is to put Nigeria into production.

“It is not acceptable that we cannot feed ourselves. We must get the country to work; all it requires is the leadership that understands and can drive the process. I can do that,” Obi added.
