“I’m Just a Tool God Is Using for Nigerians” — Peter Obi

Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has described himself as a tool being used to champion the interests of Nigerians ahead of the 2027 general election.

Speaking in an interview captured in a viral video circulating on social media, Obi said he does not see the election as a personal contest but as a battle between Nigerians and the current government

The former governor of Anambra State said: “I will not lose because the election is now between the people and the Nigerian government. I believe that people have suffered enough.

“This election is not about me telling the people what to do because it’s the people who would either win or lose against the government. So, whatever they decide to do, I don’t know because I’m not controlling them. Even if they have to go to court, it is the people suing the government. So, this election is between the people and the government.

“I’m only being used as a tool to stand for the people. If I win, one thing I must bring back is to ensure the rule of law; we must have law and order.”
