Former Governor of Anambra state, and presidential candidate of The Labour Party, in the 2023 general elections, Peter Gregory Obi on Wednesday denied being desperate to be president in 2027.
Obi said he is on a mission to help the poor and less privileged Nigerians out of their predicaments caused by the current economic situation of the country.
He bemoaned that some people tend to ignore discussions about pressing issues confronting Nigeria and its citizens.
“We live in a system where public office holders and politicians are only seen during elections. I can tell you that it is an everyday job. I have said it several times that I am not desperate to become the president of Nigeria. But I am desperate to see the poor and less privileged Nigerians being pulled out of their difficult situation daily.
“That is what I am desperate to see. And all of us can do it as well. You can’t even be happy or fulfilled when several million (Nigerians) don’t know where the next meal will come from,” he said.
