Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party
(LP), says his experience as a trader will provide the necessary solutions to
Nigeria’s challenges.
According to a statement by the Obi/Datti media office, the
LP candidate said this on Wednesday during an interaction with some youths.
Obi said he became a banker by “accident” following his time
as a student of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN).
He said Nigeria is at a stage where it requires a leader to
negotiate it out of its problems, adding that being a trader equips you to face
any challenge including that of governance.
“Everything about
governance is trading. The negotiation and all the bilateral talks with and
between countries, agencies, contractors, or workers are trading and governance
requires a good trader who can negotiate well,” Obi said.
“Where we are in this country now requires a leader to
negotiate us out of our problems. When I say I will negotiate with agitators,
it’s from my background that you must accommodate everybody into your shop
whether he is buying or not and decipher who is a customer and a passerby.
“Even in my passport, it’s shown that I am a trader, but
some said I should be a banker because I was the chairman of a bank. But I
became a banker by accident.
“My love is in trading because in it, you are equipped to
face any challenges including governance.”
