The presidential candidate of the Labor Party, LP, in the 2023 general election, Peter Obi, has emerged as a vocal advocate for prudent governance, emphasizing the imperative of curbing wasteful expenditure.
He has urged governments at all levels to redirect these saved resources towards alleviating poverty-stricken communities.
Obi, was addressing a press conference in Abuja on Wednesday said that this could be achieved by tackling challenges in education and health sectors.
The former governor of Anambra State also appealed to wealthy Nigerians to join him in providing water and sanitation, among other amenities to Nigerians.
He said the appeal to provide water to Nigerians in need is what led him to sinking ten boreholes in the North with the intention of adding another ten.

The ex-Governor noted that it is imperative to solve the challenges of the present but more critical to plan for the future.
