Nigeria Needs A Wealth Creator, Not A Wealth Sharer – Peter Obi

Peter Obi

Former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has said that what Nigeria needs today is a wealth creator and manager like himself. He recently had his say while speaking to the MD/CEO of News Central, Kayode Akintemi, on the programme “60 Minutes with Kay,” and Nigerians have been reacting.

Bragging that not even President Bola Tinubu can match his experience as a wealth creator, Obi noted that he did not need a PhD degree to build reputable businesses from scratch locally and internationally.

He added that the nation clearly needs a leader who creates wealth, not somebody who shares wealth.

His words, “Qualification is a perspective and it depends on where you’re coming from. He (Kwankwaso) said he was more qualified because he has a PhD which is not bad. I don’t have a PhD.

He has some experience, he’s exposed. He was a minister. There’s no doubt about that. I don’t think his claim was wrong but for what Nigeria needs today, Nigeria needs a wealth creator, wealth manager.

I have built reputable businesses from scratch locally and internationally. Nobody today in this context, including the president, can claim to have passed through my experience.

What Nigeria needs today is somebody that creates wealth, not somebody who shares wealth, somebody who can manage resources more efficiently and save for the future.”

WOW.
