Peter Obi: Wealth Creation Beats a PhD for Nigeria’s Next Leader

Former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi says Nigeria needs a leader who can create and manage wealth rather than just hold advanced degrees. He responded to Rabiu Kwankwaso’s claim that his PhD makes him more qualified. Obi acknowledged Kwankwaso’s experience but argued that Nigeria needs someone with a proven track record in building and managing businesses. Highlighting his success in founding reputable companies locally and internationally, Obi said trading and wealth creation require skill and resilience. He believes this background makes him best equipped to drive Nigeria’s economic growth.
