Presidential aspirant Peter Obi point out the need for Nigeria to embrace production state instead of consumption state~details below

 Former governor of Anambra state Peter Obi, has said there is nothing left again in Nigeria to share among states, stressing that if he wins presidential election, he would eliminate sharing formula and replace it with production formula.

Peter Obi who is presidential aspirant under the platform of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) stated this in Port Harcourt, yesterday, during a meeting with Rivers State PDP delegates.  

he stressed that “There is nothing left to share, nothing, anybody who is expecting any sharing should forget it, it is finished, we are now borrowing money.

“That is why I said my basic function is to move the country from consumption to production, no more sharing formula. I am going to put production formula in place.”

Stressing that one of the problems catapulting the nation into unthoughtful borrowing was that most politicians live beyond their limits and lacks the prospective zeal to manage and utilise available resources to create jobs opportunities to pull out teaming population of youths from poverty.

“We must feed ourselves, we have a lot of land all over Nigeria, like Niger State has 76.3 Square kilometres of land and they cannot feed themselves, they cannot feed Nigeria. Netherlands is 33,000 square metres and they did $123 billion food export, more than what we earn from oil.”

The state PDP Chairman, Desmond Akawor, said the party believed in persons like Peter Obi to move the nation forward. He said: “When Governor Wike speaks, we thought he was the only one interested in the development of Nigeria but listening  to you today shows there are one or two more persons that are keen to see that Nigeria advances.”

The presidential aspirant Peter Obi addressed the message in Uyo, Akwa Ibom state along with delegates followed by PDP state executive on his intention to run for the office of the President of the country, at Atan Offot, Uyo.

He further cry out over poor security situation of the Nigeria, saying: “Today all you hear every morning when you wake up is one bad news or the other. If it is not banditry, it is killing, kidnapping, all kinds of bad news. You don’t wake up in Nigeria to hear good news, all you hear is bad news.

“The question we now ask yourself is how did we get here, why are these things happening to us? It is cumulative of leadership failure over the years.” He blamed past administrations in the country for treating investments in critical sectors of the economy with levity, especially the education sector, adding that, the poverty level in the country plays a prominent role in what the country was passing through.
