Nigerian Politicians Pay Youths N20,000 To Attack Those Fighting For Their Future – Peter Obi

Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 election, has criticized Nigerian politicians.

The former Anambra governor slammed them of engaging in what he called “transactional politics,” accusing them of paying young people to attack those who speak up for a better Nigeria.

Speaking at an event held at Johns Hopkins University in Washington, D.C., Peter Obi said many youths are being paid to stir up trouble online.

Peter Obi said, “People pay them to cause confusion. As I am here now, go to social media.

“All those that are being paid N20, 000 or N40, 000 monthly are youths whom you are fighting for their lives because at over 60, I have just few years to go but we can get it right.”

KanyiDaily recalls that Peter Obi recently attended the lying-in-state of the late Pope Francis at St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome.
