Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), has denied asking Nigerians living in the United Kingdom to abandon relatives who depend on them for financial support. In a statement titled “My Message Has Been Twisted” posted on X on Tuesday, the former Anambra State governor said he never asked Nigerians abroad to stop supporting their loved ones. He said he appreciated Nigerians in the diaspora who make sacrifices to support their families at home, stressing that his concern was the country’s dependence on remittances to meet basic needs. Obi claimed his message about hardship in Nigeria was distorted by political opponents.
