The Vice Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mr. Peter Obi has faulted the current administration’s style in its fight against corruption.

Speaking on Tuesday during the 2018 Unity Summit  organized by the Youth Wing of the Christian Association of Nigeria (YOWICAN), Obi charged the government to device means of stopping the massive sleaze in the system.

“We are not fighting corruption. Fighting corruption is not an economic policy. Find a way of stopping the stealing,” Obi said.

He added: “Don’t tell me about corruption. Take the money directly to where it should go. But when you build several toll gates, you are breeding corruption. Look at your country, where are we going.

“We are the poorest in the world. India was the poorest in 2015 but now Nigeria has pushed India away. What did India do to get out from that place? What did China do to pull millions of their people out of poverty?”

“This is a great country. Nigeria was a great country in the community of nations when we didn’t know what to do with money because the country was great. The economy was far better than China and South Korea. Just 35 years ago.

“We had a reserve of over 10 billion but China today has an enviable GDP. What did China do that we are not doing? It’s not enough for people to say they are going to change things. What have you changed before?

“Tell us in simple terms where you are taking us to. Give us the background what you’ve done.  Those who perform woefully, pray for them to leave peacefully. You must ensure that bad leaders must not continue. Your country is going down.”
