Presidential hopeful Peter Obi has said being Nigeria’s president is not about luxury but about sacrifice, compassion, and using resources wisely. Speaking on Channels TV’s Sunday Politics, Obi criticised President Bola Tinubu’s government, saying it shows little concern for the struggles of ordinary Nigerians.

“If I become president, I will not waste public money. You won’t hear me saying ‘buy a new jet’,” Obi said, slamming the idea of spending huge sums on luxuries while basic needs suffer. “I don’t need a private jet to function. How can you spend N150 billion on jets when most of our primary healthcare centres are not working?” he asked.

Obi reflected on his time as governor of Anambra State, saying he led by example with a simple lifestyle. “As governor, I used a Peugeot 406 for four years. I didn’t ride in bulletproof cars. People want to kill you when you do wrong. But when you do right, you live without fear. If your citizens are suffering or dying, you as president should also be ready to face anything; even death,” he added.

“We have built our health system, primary education, and reduced out-of-school children. We have been awarded three times by the federal government for development and good governance. And they are accusing us? What kind of paradox is this?”

But while singing, the First Lady stood up and met him to inform him to stop singing and go directly to his speech instead.

Media personality Dele then reacted and questioned why she would do something like that, asking if she would have done the same kind of interruption if it were the recitation of the Qur’an.

I chose never to avenge myself, understanding that it is God’s prerogative. Mine is to thank Him for fighting for us. If God decides to fight your battles and you have won, is there anything else that God missed and you wanted to fix? Nothing. So, let it go.”
