“In Nigeria, politicians pay youths N20,000 to insult those advocating for their future on social media” – Peter Obi

Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 general election, has criticized the nature of politics in Nigeria, describing it as “transactional.”

He claimed that some politicians resort to paying youths to attack and insult individuals who advocate for a better future for the country.

‘’People pay them to cause confusion. As I am here now, go to social media. All those that are being paid N20, 000 or N40, 000 monthly are youths whom you are fighting for their lives because at over 60, I have just few years to go but we can get it right.”
