The 2023 Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Mr Peter Obi, has described himself as better prepared to tackle Nigeria’s economic and security challenges if given the chance.

He said none of those currently seeking to contest 2027 presidential election can boast of starting, managing a small business and growing it into a big corporation as he did.

Obi stated this while answering questions from a cross-section of Nigerians during an interactive X Space engagement yesterday.

He explained that fixing the economy would go a long way in fixing Nigeria’s security challenges because the two are interlinked.

The former Anambra State governor said: “I know how to turn Nigeria around. I built my business from scratch and have more experience than any candidate, including the sitting President. I’m a finance person. I know how to manage finance.”

He said with him in charge, small businesses and manufacturers would thrive because he’d focus on growing them, noting they’re the economic drivers in developed countries.
