Mr Obi said there are more “Yahoo boys,” fraudsters, in the Nigerian government than on the streets.
Peter Obi of the Labour Party says Nigeria has become a crime scene. The government is populated with thieves who steal the country’s resources.
Mr Obi, in his speech at the 4th graduation ceremony of Nexford University on Saturday, said there are more Yahoo boys, fraudsters, in the Nigerian government than on the streets.
“For governance, don’t think when we talk about vices, it is only Yahoo boys,” Mr Obi said. “There are actually more Yahoo people in government than there are outside because we have turned the entire country into a crime scene where people inside are stealing and people outside are stealing.”
The former Anambra State governor charged the graduating students to deploy what they learnt in school to improve society.
“It is about leadership and igniting the future. It is not rocket science, but it is difficult. It is being able to have a strong character and the ability not to do the wrong thing.
“It is for you to help to bring a better change in that society that you want to live in. You have acquired knowledge today. Use what you have learnt to help us change society. You are a victim of Nigeria because our age and the age before has refused to do what is right, and you are suffering it,” Mr Obi said.
