The presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the February 2023 general elections, Peter Obi, has charged politicians to utilise public funds to uplift the standard living of Nigerians.
Obi spoke at the Grimade School of Nursing and Midwifery, Ayingba, Dekina Local Government Area of Kogi State.
He stated, “We politicians should realise that the money in our care does not belong to us but to the people and we should spend it to uplift their standard of living.
“The money is not our own, it belongs to the people, we are under obligation to spend it on the people.”
He, therefore, made a donation of N10m to the school and promised to sink a borehole that would serve the school and the host community of Ayingba.
