The Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has vowed never to persecute opposition if he emerges as Nigeria’s president in 2027.
Obi said he would ensure a viable opposition in Nigeria where he would sit with them to discuss issues that affect the country if elected as Nigeria’s president.
In an interview with DW, the former Anambra State governor said his intending administration would ensure that the system works in Nigeria.
He said: “The system must work the way it should function, I would never prosecute anybody politically, I would never do anything wrong while in office.
“I would not go after opponent, I would make sure that we have strong opposition parties that can stand and say no. In times of problems I would invite them.
“If I was president with what is happening in the North, I would invite all opposition parties and I would sit with stakeholders in the North to discuss and come up with a solutions.”
