Labour Party (LP) 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has declared that government officials can reduce corruption if they and their family members are not involved in stealing.
Naija News reports that Peter Obi made this assertion on Friday during a session on youth and leadership opportunities with students of Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, ATBU, Bauchi.
According to the former Governor of Anambra State, fighting corruption in Nigeria is not as difficult as it is generally perceived.
Peter Obi added that corruption could be fought swiftly, maintaining that if allowed to serve as President in 2027, he would serve for only one term of four years.
He said, “We are talking about corruption, but let me tell you, fighting corruption is not as difficult as people make it look.
“If you, your wife and children are not stealing, you have reduced corruption by 60 per cent.
“I’ve served as chairman of a bank at a time when most people who were directors of banks were busy taking loans from their banks.
“Go and check any bank where I was a director or chairman, whether that bank gave me a loan as a director. Go and check whether there was anything missing while I was there.
“I served as governor of a state for eight years and I challenge everybody to go and show me where one kobo of Anambra State that I’m not entitled to was linked to me.”
