Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has requested that Nigerians pray for politicians in the country.
According to Obi, Nigeria is not a poor country, but a country that lacks good leaders.
He declared that politicians are the problem of Nigeria, and urged the citizens to always remember them in prayers so God could touch their hearts and help them to do what is right and just.
Naija News reports that Obi made the statement on Sunday in his goodwill message at the Thanksgiving Service held at the Cathedral of St Peter’s, Aremo, Ibadan, to mark the 50th Anniversary Celebration of Oyo State.
He also rated Governor Seyi Makinde well in serving the people of Oyo State.
“I thank Gov. Makinde for faithfully serving the people of Oyo State.
“As you celebrate this 50th anniversary, I pray that the next fifty years of the great state will be exemplary.
“May God continue to bless our governor and all the members of his team.
“As I conclude, I want to make a request to Nigerians to, please, always remember us politicians in prayers.
“We are the problem of Nigeria. No other person. Nigeria is not a poor country but only poorly governed.
“Remember us in your prayers that God should touch our hearts to use public money for public good,” Obi said.
