Obi Says He Did Not Ask Nigerians Abroad to Abandon Their Families

Peter Obi has said his comments to Nigerians living in the United Kingdom were misrepresented. He said he did not ask people abroad to abandon relatives or stop supporting their families. Obi said his concern was Nigeria's dependence on remittances for citizens' basic needs. He argued that the country should create conditions in which more people can provide for themselves at home. The former Anambra State governor said his media office had already issued a clarification, but political opponents continued to distort his position.
