Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi has said he is not desperate to become Nigeria’s president, insisting his interest is focused on improving the country rather than occupying the nation’s highest office.

Speaking during a recent engagement, Obi criticised the current administration, arguing that many Nigerians who once owned thriving businesses have been pushed into hardship.

“I am not desperate to be President of Nigeria. There’s a way you will fail in school, they will ask you to leave the school. People who had business when you came into power are now people who are selling kuli-kuli. President Tinubu is tired,” Obi said.

The former Anambra State governor’s remarks have since sparked reactions on social media, with supporters praising his comments while critics questioned his political strategy and dismissed his claims.
