I will stop corruption when elected president, says Obi at Chatham House

Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi, said on Monday in London that he would wipe out corruption by ensuring all revenues of government are properly accounted for if he wins the presidential election on February 25.

He made the vow while speaking at the Chatham House on his plans for Nigerians.

He said, “Foreign capital is scare of corruption, poor policy and is scare of where there is no rule of law. You need to put a regulatory environment and makes it conducive.

“That is what Datti and I want to bring onboard. We will bring tangible asset of securing the country, making sure we govern through the rule of law. We will fight corruption. Datti has a record that he is the only National Assembly member who refused to buy property of government.”

Obi reportedly spoke to about 60,000 people in audience during the interactive session.

Chatham House, also known as the Royal Institute of International Affairs, is an independent policy institute headquartered in London with a mission to provide commentary on world events and offer solutions to global challenges.
