Former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, says Nigerians cannot continue to normalise what is not normal.
Obi made this statement on Wednesday during his defection in Enugu.
DAILY POST reports that Obi officially defected from the Labour Party, LP, to the coalition-backed African Democratic Congress, ADC.
“There is looting of public funds from the top to the bottom. Insecurity is the order of the day. People can no longer sleep with their eyes closed.
“Poverty has eaten deep into the life of every average Nigerian. We can no longer allow normalizing what is not normal.
“We must then change it, and to change it, we must come with unity of purpose.
“We are now talking about tax regime. How can you tax people who unemployed? We have one 30 million people living in multi dimensional poverty. We have 80 million Nigerians, young Nigerians who are unemployed, and you’re talking about tax,” he said.
