According to Mr. Obi, the money being offered by politicians belongs to Nigeria but was ‘stolen’ by those in government.
In his words, “Let me tell you, that money they are giving you is your money, collect it, eat it and vote for me.
“The money that I will give to you is that you will be employed, you will have healthcare, you will get education, I will make society work and you will become rich. I want to build a society where everybody is secure where a child of nobody will be able to become president of this country.”
