By our reporter| The presidential candidate of the Labour party in the 2023 general, Peter Obi on Thursday tasked the Buhari administration to name and shame the eminent Nigerians who are involved in oil theft and sponsorship of insurgency.
Obi in a series of posts via his official Facebook account, said he is struck and intrigued by the news report linking “highly placed” Nigerians to oil theft in the country.
“The same has been the case with financing insurgency and Boko Haram. When will FGN summon the political will to publicly name such persons?” he questioned.
While urging the government to take quick action regarding this issue, the former Anambra state governor was of the opinion that in the National Interest, there should be no sacred cows.
On the issue of money politics, Obi said he shares fully in the sentiments and views attributed to President Muhammadu Buhari on the need to resist ‘money bag’ politicians who plan to rig the 2023 elections.
According to him, Nigeria’s democracy has come of age; and the people’s right to elect leaders of their choice should not be infringed upon.
As regards the protracted strike action by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), the LP Presidential Candidate said it is gratifying that governors have undertaken to mediate, adding that this is propitious and a remarkable show of leadership.
He said it is his hope that such direct constructive engagement will bring the strike to an end soonest.
