“Forget 2023, concentrate on how to tackle poverty” – Peter Obi
Former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi has advised politicians to look at ways in which to tackle poverty and put aside the issues of 2023.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, Obi stated this following reports that the country will experience the worst recession ever.
According to him, there is too much waste and monies borrowed by this government were not properly put to use.
“Every other country is discussing the recession and how to pull their people out of poverty,” Obi said.
“So what we should do now is to concentrate on the monetary and fiscal policies to start pulling people out of poverty.
“If you see what happened with recent protests, you could see that we are heading into a problem.
“And I want our energy to be concentrated in that problem. The politicians, the class where I belong, should do more seriously, across party lines, to be able to arrest the situation before it gets out of hand.
“For me, it is in discussing how do we put food on people’s table? Elections will come and we can see how to select the best. But let’s deal with the recession we have just entered before 2023.”
“The cost of governance is not acceptable. There is too much waste. This recession is going to be worse than in 2016 because the monies we borrowed then were not properly invested,” Obi added.
Poverty is a big disease that need to be tackled, investment really matters , if it was done dere could have been no need of borrowing
That’s is real issue we are facing in this country, once we concluded one general election instead of facing governance by the people elected, no, they will start talking about the next general election which is very bad. They should do something with current situation now.
Everyone of you are bird of a feather. If they have sense and review the last situations that happened recently they will know that things are not augur well but they don’t have thinking charisma that is why they continue with their bad attitude.
You politicians don’t have conscience at all because if you do, the money that meant for development of the country, you won’t be pocketing it be doing as if nothing happened.
We have been saying this that government should cut money spend on governance, the money used for it is too much but they won’t listen. I pray we don’t sleep into another recession if they do what they ought to do.
Well said Peter obi
Good advice….
It’s is disheartening that people that are elected to bring better governance are concentrating on getting more power instead of doing there job
Don’t mind them
The one they are ruling, they are not ruling fine still they are talking of another one
I don’t understand these so called wicked politicians
Nigeria ooooo
Thanks for drawing their attention towards a matter of national issue. They don’t care about the situation of the country all they do is their ambition come 2923.
abi but what of u can u do the same
Atlast someone now knows whats right. Thats the right advice for the government.
You are very welcome sustenance if it’ll be this should be the mindset of every politician rather than struggling for who will become the next president of Nigeria it’s not helping out please you people should do something about it and be helping us the members of the country
That th major problem nigerians are face.Majority are affected by this deadly disease of poverty (povid 19)
This a very good advice coming from Peter Obi because the word poverty is a very big disease that has no cure except Gods intervention and hard working.
They are only thinking on how to manipulate and win elections so they can hid palliative
good statement
This man is making sense.
