Former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi, is accusing the All Progressives Congress, APC of diminishing what was once a promising nation at Nigeria’s independence.

He made his stance clear at a press conference on the state of the nation at Nigeria’s independence.

“In 1999, we overcame the military dictatorship and restored democracy, beginning a renewed journey toward prosperity, freedom, and justice.

“That journey helped us build Africa’s highest economy and strengthen democratic institutions. But over the last decade, under the APC’s incompetent, divisive, and corrupt leadership, Nigeria has been greatly diminished”, Obi said.

Obi says Nigeria had been poised at independence in 1960 to not only be the giant of Africa but a world powerhouse.

The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) argues that despite the politics of current administration plunging over 15 million people below the poverty line in its first year alone, it still pursues a tax regime, demanding its citizens pay more to the government despite benefiting little or nothing in return.
