Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has flaunted his educational background.
He says he may be a trader as some people have mockingly noted, he studied in great schools that include Oxford.
Speaking at an encounter with some Nigerians in Frankfurt, Germany, he said:
“When you listen to us, go and check our backgrounds, this is not a time for somebody to show us his qualifications, I live in Nigeria and I know Nigeria and what Nigerians need. I am not a stranger to Nigerian problems.
“I am a trader but I have a privilege to go to some of the best of schools like Oxford, Cambridge, and other Ivy league institutions, but I always say to people that educational qualification is not the same as integrity.
“Listen to all the presidential candidates not through proxy. Let anyone who wants to be your President come forward himself and speak to you directly, because he is the one you will hold responsible for whatever happens to Nigeria under his care.
“This campaign is not a campaign you are going to speak through somebody, that person needs to come and directly tell us what he is going to do for our country and we must take note of whatever he says and hold him by his words.”
