Ahead of the 2027 elections, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Peter Obi, has reiterated his call for a corruption-free Nigeria.
The former Anambra State governor said Nigerian voters must elect leaders with the capacity and character to unite the country and drive economic transformation.
Obi spoke during an impromptu engagement with Nigerians at their annual general meeting in Birmingham, United Kingdom, after concluding his engagements in Manchester.
The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, said the discussions focused on the collective responsibility of building a Nigeria that works for all citizens.
In a statement issued after the meeting, Obi said achieving that goal would require tackling corruption and electing leaders with the capacity, character, compassion and commitment to unite the country, strengthen security and transform the economy.
He also called for a shift from a consumption-driven economy to one built on production, stressing the need to create opportunities and ensure that all Nigerians benefit.
Obi said: “A New Nigeria is possible.”
