Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, recently had an interactive session with the Nigerian Guild of Editors, where he shared some of his plans if eventually he is elected the next president of Nigeria. He speaks on why Nigeria has remained backward and why a competent leader must be elected to lead the country out of its present quagmire. AKINWUNMI KING brings the excerpts:
You went into negotiation with Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP), and it was reported at one point that you offered about N40 billion for Kwankwaso to become your vice presidential candidate. Is it true that you offered that kind of amount and who are the people funding you?
