Hours after joining Labour Party to pursue his ambition, former Anambra State governor and presidential hopeful, Peter Obi, has disclosed that he is not desperate to become Nigeria’s president
He, however, said what he was desperate about was to see Nigeria work for the teeming youths and other Nigerians facing hardship across the country.
Obi stated this while featuring on Channels TV programme, Politics Today on Friday night.
The presidential hopeful joined LP on Friday few days after dumping the main opposition party PDP, saying the new party is the right platform that aligns with his aspiration.
According to him, he had chosen a route that he considered to be in line with “our aspirations and my mantra of taking the country from consumption to production.”
Obi, who is seeking to succeed the President Muhammadu Buhari after the expiration of his regime in 2023, disclosed this in a series of tweets on his Twitter handle on Friday.
