Peter Obi, the presidential candidate for the Labour Party (LP), has said that he is richer than the president of the United States, Joe Bidden, and therefore has no reason to steal public funds if elected by Nigerians in 2023.
The former governor of Anambra State who said this at a recent event while addressing some Nigerians living abroad, said he is richer than Biden, who is worth $8.9m, because God had “over blessed” him.
In a video shared on twitter by one of his followers, Obi said: “If I take public money that I’m not entitled to, God should punish my children and me, not because of anything but God gave me enough.
“I say to people, President Biden is worth 8.9 million USD. Why should somebody like me steal public money when I am richer than the American President? I am already over-blessed by God. We just need to develop our country.
“I’m not looking for a private jet, sophisticated house or to buy a house in America because I can’t live in America.
“What we are doing is not about the normal politics or contesting elections.”
