The Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has disclosed he won’t abandon Nigeria if war breaks out in the country.
He made the revelation during a virtual chat with more than 1,000 members of his main support group, the Peter Obi Support Network.
Obi added that he would rather die in Nigeria if war should break out than be a free man in another country.
The former Anambra State governor maintained that he avoided obtaining resident permit and citizenship rights from other countries because he believed in Nigeria.
He said;
“When I left the UK after residing there for over 10 years, I returned everything that belonged to them.
I have a singular focus on Nigeria, and I do not think I need the citizenship or residence rights of any other country when I haven’t finished exploiting my nature-given rights and privileges as a Nigerian.
If I am out of Nigeria today and there is a war in Nigeria, I will find a way to return to Nigeria because I will rather die in my country, Nigeria, than live free in another man’s country.”
Obi then appealed to Nigerians in the diaspora to contribute to the country’s growth.
