The Labour Party (LP) 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has accused the Bola Tinubu administration of being insensitive towards the plight of the people.

Naijaonpoint reports that the former Anambra State Governor, during an interview on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics programme, stated that being a Nigerian president is a responsibility that should engender compassion, not nonchalance.

Peter Obi said the president should be ready to pay the supreme price if his people are dying.

According to him, nobody will attempt to kill the president if he is doing the right thing.

He said, “If I become president, I will use resources effectively. I cannot say: ‘buy a new jet’.

“I don’t need one because I can go anywhere without a jet. I will not use ₦150bn to buy a jet when 80% of primary healthcare centres are not functioning.

“I was a governor, and for my first four years, I drove 406. For the rest of it, I didn’t drive bulletproof cars. Nobody will try to kill you if you do the right thing. It is when you do the wrong thing that you fear death.

“If your people are dying, you should be ready to die. The president should also be ready to die.”
