Ex-Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi has come out to say that Nigeria must transition from a consuming to a producing nation to a nation pulling her citizens out of poverty.

He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, the country must live within its means by cutting down on the cost of governance and investing in human capital development.

Peter Obi added that pulling Nigerians out of poverty is key because with the abundant resources in the country, it is unacceptable to have youths without means of livelihood.

His words, “I am saying the same thing to Nigerians for the general elections. We must live within our means in this country. That is what we need to do urgently to take our people out of poverty.”

“So we cannot allow our young people in their young age with the resources of this country to be living where they have no means of livelihood. That is what I want to do.”

“That is why I said my basic function is to move the country from consumption to production. We have to change. No more sharing formular.”

“I’m going to put the production formula in place. We must feed ourselves. We have enough land all over Nigeria for us to feed ourselves.”
