Poverty Eradication Day: Peter Obi restates commitment to pulling people out poverty

Obi, according to a statement from his media aide, Michael Jude Nwolisa, said his position derives from the empirical facts that no nation, Nigeria inclusive cannot develop with more than half of its population living in poverty.

In his message to mark the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, Obi lamented the high rate of poverty in the country is avoidable with good and focused leadership.
