City, State/Country
Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, don use mouth give President Bola Tinubu mashe for the new presidential jet wey e don buy. E don talk say na wrong move when plenty Nigerians dey struggle just to chop and get correct healthcare. This kind spending na wah, I swear!
Obi talk am during one Sunday Politics show, where e dey question Tinubu administration priorities. E pledge to lead with ’empathy and fiscal responsibility’ if e turn president. Na so Obi yarn, “If I become president, I no go buy new jet. I no need am, because you fit waka anywhere without jet. I no go spend 150 billion for jet when 80% of our primary health centres dey down.” (Omo, you fit just imagine that kind waste for our country!)
As former governor of Anambra State, Obi don set standard wey no dey include heavy security or luxury for high office. E come talk say, “For my first four years, I drive Peugeot 406. For the rest, I no even dey waka bulletproof cars.” E dey try show say no be only big man things dey show governance.
Obi dey dismiss all those arguments wey say security matter justify buying presidential jet. E drop one hot line: “Nobody go want kill you if you dey do the right thing. Na when you dey do wrong thing, fear go catch you. If your people dey die, you suppose ready to die.” (Talk am again for the back! Obi no send anyone o!)
Obi no hold back as e dey accuse Tinubu of lacking compassion. E call out the kind leader wey Nigerians need: “People wan see president wey dey care, president wey show compassion.” E conclude say, “Today, we get country without compassion. Leadership without compassion no dey exist, e be minus for any country.” (True talk, my brother!)
