The former governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi, has requested Nigerians to ask aspirants pertinent questions about what they achieved in the various offices they held before now seeking political office.
Obi, a presidential aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), tasked some of the aspirants to speak out on their achievements so far before thinking of the 2023 general elections.
He threw the challenge on Monday, during a meeting with some PDP stakeholders in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
Obi specifically urged Nigerians to do a thorough background check of candidates, to avoid taking the country through another route of pains and agony, saying security problems must be tackled with drastic measures.
He said: “Anybody who comes here and says to you that he wants to be President, ask where he was 25 years ago and what he has done, where is he coming from?
“Ask questions about his achievements in the past. Where have you worked? Which school did he go to? Let us know how he managed public money that was given to him in the past.”
