Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, has said the comment by former Kano State Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso is the reason about 100 million Nigerians are living in poverty.
Kwankwaso, the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), at the weekend said he cannot be a running mate to Obi.
He also said the Southeast will miss a golden opportunity if Obi refuses to be his running mate.
The NNPP candidate added that the Igbo are at the bottom in Nigerian politics.
Reacting in an interview on Arise TV, Obi said: “The comment by the elder brother Kwankwaso is the reason why we have 100 million Nigerians living in poverty, 18 million Nigerian children out of school and about 52 per cent of Nigerians either unemployed or underemployed.
This is because rather than vote for competent leaders, we vote for incompetence due to a primitive consideration of religion and ethnicity.
“Tell me, today, you can’t travel from Abuja to Kaduna by road or rail. Is it because someone from the Southeast is in charge? You can’t travel to Minna by road. Is it because someone from the Southeast is in charge?
