There Are More ‘Yahoo People’ in Govt Than Outside – Peter Obi

Peter Obi, Presidential Candidate of Labour Party in the 2023 election, has criticised the present administration, saying there are more “Yahoo people” in government than those outside.

Obi said this in his keynote address as guest speaker at the 4th graduation ceremony of Nexford University. At the event themed: “Lead the change; ignite your future”, Obi stressed that the country is at the mercy of corrupt officials milking from the government coffers.

“For governance, don’t think when we talk about vices, it is only Yahoo boys. There are actually more Yahoo people in government than there are outside because we have turned the entire country into a crime scene where people inside are stealing and people outside are stealing,” he said.

He emphasised on the need for quality leadership to manage the affairs of the country.

“It is about leadership and igniting the future. It is not rocket science but it is difficult. It is being able to have a strong character, the ability not to do the wrong thing.

“It is for you to help to bring a better change in that society that you want to live in. You have acquired knowledge today.Use what you have learnt to help us change society.

“You are a victim of Nigeria because our age and the age before has refused to do what is right and you are suffering it,” he stressed.
