A frontline Presidential Aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP) and former Governor of Anambra State, Mr Peter Obi has said that Nigeria would do better with creators and not consumers of it’s resources.
Speaking in Uyo on yesterday during a consultative meeting with Akwa Ibom State chapter of the PDP Obi maintained that the era of sharing in Nigerian politics is over because “there is nothing to share anymore.”
He explained that what Nigeria would need a new set of leaders with the capacity to create wealth and produce resources to take care of the next generation.
The former Vice presidential candidate of the PDP listed key areas to tackle in the economy to include education, security , power generation and manufacturing to reposition the nation’s economy.
” My mission is to create change for Nigeria from consumption to production and from wealth sharing to wealth creation.
” The cake we are sharing now has finished . What we need now is to bake more cakes . There is no more cake to share anymore. And those cakes we are going to bake is not for sharing.
” We would have a new system where the teeming unemployed youths are given a future . They are going to be driving the process . So, there is no need to share . Consumption is finished , we are now talking about production.
“The new Nigeria would be creating and producing not the Nigeria where people are sharing money.” He said.
He mentioned inability to manage the economy well and insecurity as factors that contributed to a failed state adding that the time to rescue Nigeria is now.
He therefore urged Akwa Ibom delegates to vote with the picture of their children in mind not the personality of any candidate and ethnic consideration .
