Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) Mr. Peter Obi has said he is labeled stingy because of his fiscal discipline in the management of public funds.
Obi, who describes such labelling as false, said those who lose out in the process of blocking financial waste in the system see it as being stingy.
The presidential candidate, who was a special guest at the Human Rights Radio in Abuja popularly called Berekete Radio, recounted examples of his frugal use of public funds, pointing out that corrupt people fight back when you block them by tagging you stingy.
According to him, saving money is not in the constitution of Nigeria “but my Presidency will change our sharing mentality to saving and production mentality.”
