The former governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, on Sunday urged Nigerian politicians to put their 2023 political aspirations on the back burner and focus on how to rescue the country from the current economic crisis.
Obi, who was the running mate to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in 2019 presidential election, was reacting to the news that Nigeria has slid back into recession.
He said on a Channels Television Programme, Sunday Politics, it is more important to solve the country’s economic problems than jostling for positioning ahead of next general elections in the country.
Obi insisted that the next election has no impact on people’s current livelihoods.
He stressed that the funds borrowed by the current administration were not properly put to use,” saying the government did not adequately prepare Nigerians for the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
