Independence: Obi tasks Nigerian leaders on commitment to fight corruption

Obi, who is the former governor of Anambra, made this known in a statement in Lagos on Saturday.

The presidential candidate while addressing the audience at the 10th Anniversary Memorial Celebration organised by The Chinua Achebe Foundation, said that leaders in Africa’s biggest economy must be committed to the rule of law.

Obi recalled how as governor, he met a state that was ranked 27th out of the 36 states of Nigeria in Education but that with concerted efforts through handing schools over to missions and pumping funds into the sector.
