Vice presidential candidate in the 2019 Nigerian general election under the People’s Democratic Party, Peter Obi has lamented bitterly over the high rate of criminality and corruption in the country.
The only business that thrives in Nigeria is stealing government’s money, banditry and kidnapping, he added
Obi said;
“How do we go and negotiate and pay somebody, a bandit, when we have not paid those who are working?
“You can’t pay people for banditry. The only business that thrives in Nigeria is stealing the government’s money, banditry and kidnapping and that’s why your country is not progressing.
“We are owing those who have legitimately worked. And we are negotiating and paying those who have stolen kids. It is a criminal system.
“Lecturers are owed. How do we compensate those who have not contributed anything to the economy? The economy is not productive and that’s why it is failing.
“Nigeria will not succeed if we continue asking bandits to come to a meeting, and we are not calling professors to a meeting. That is why the country is where it is today. May God help Nigeria.”
