A Human Rights Activist and Chieftain of the All Progressive Congress, (APC) Dr. Tunji Abayomi has challenged the Presidential Candidate of Labour Party, (LP), Peter Obi to tell Nigerians the origin of his wealth if he really mean to be President of Nigeria
Abayomi who raised the financial scrutiny of the LP Presidential Candidate in a statement on his Facebook page said Nigerians are interested to know the source of Obi’s wealth and how many young people have benefitted immensely from it.
The Facebook page has been bombarded with reactions and counter reactions from the members of the public.
According to him, youths rejoice and clap when Peter Obi speaks about how he goes to Abuja alone because he wants to save money saying that it was so superficial.
His words: “Now you need to fix food for the House but because you have too many Cousins visiting you refuse to cook because it will cost too much money. Thus everyone goes hungry including your children. O.k. for the feeding of the House instead of buying vegetables and fruits, meat and fish, to save money, you prefer that your household should eat Eba most of the time, afterall people survive on Eba.
“So what is the value of savings? Is it not to solve human problem? What I need to hear from Peter Obi is NOT how he saves money when people are manifestly in need but how he used or uses money SAVED or UNSAVED to solve the problems of people.
“A miserly and stingy leader in issues appertaining to money use will not be generous in appreciation, understanding , ideas, innovation, accommodation and compassion.
“That’s not the type of man I want for President in a nation vastly in need of human compassion and human generosity.
“The man I want for President is a sincere, sober and compassionate leader who uses money to solve human problems because he cares not just a money saver , certainly not a leader who looks at the figures of his savings and derives boastful joy because they are high”, the Constitutional lawyer added.
Ends.
