Presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, ahead of the 2027 presidential election, Peter Obi has declared that Nigeria must urgently shift from a consumption-driven economy to one based on production, warning that no nation can import its way to prosperity.
The NDC candidate assured that his campaign would be more than a political exercise, describing it as an opportunity for a national conversation on how to rebuild the country and improve the living standards of Nigerians.
According to him, although he and his running mate, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, come from different backgrounds and experiences, they share a common objective of improving the lives of Nigerians, particularly the poor and vulnerable.
In a statement by the spokesman of Peter Obi Media Office, POMR, Idris Zekeri, the NDC presidential candidate made the declaration on Friday in Onitsha, Anambra State, while addressing journalists at a press conference where he outlined some of the key issues he intends to take to Nigerians during the 2027 presidential campaign.
