We have to turn night vigils to night shifts so Nigerians can be productive’ – Peter Obi
Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate for the Labour Party (LP), stated that the connection between politics and the church in Nigeria needs to be broken.
He suggested that night vigils be transformed into night shifts to boost productivity. Obi shared this perspective during an appearance on the Honest Bunch podcast.
According to Obi: “It’s attractive, politics and church but it has to be dismantled.
“We are going to turn night vigil into night shift so that people can be productive.
“I go to church and believe in God but we can’t have it that people Monday to Friday, be in church morning and night.
“If I go from here to my house, the only sign boards you see are those of churches.
“If you go to the East, it’s burials and that’s not a country.”
