The Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi has opined that he cannot embezzle public funds because God has blessed him more than enough.
9News Nigeria reports that the former Governor of Anambra State made this known in a recent event while speaking to some Nigerians in the diaspora.

Obi issued a curse on himself if he takes a public fund that does not belong to him.

According to him, he was at a public event where the American President, Joe Biden said he is worth $8.9 million.

However, someone like him from a third-world country is richer than Biden hence questioning why he should steal public funds.

The LP flagbearer added that he is not looking for a private jet, sophisticated house, or eager to own a house in America.
